'Twas the Night Before Bailouts

Here is the script

Twas the night before bailouts, and all through the nation

Not a business was stirring, not large corporations

Their requests had been sent to Congress with care

In hopes that Pelosi, or Reid, would give them a share

The CEOs had their hopes set on the Fed

And visions of bonuses danced in their heads

I was at home, full of hope and wonder

At the thought of big companies not going under.

Then out on the street there arose such a clatter,

I looked out the window to see what was the matter.

On the street was a hay wagon, making its way

Not the usual wagon, filled with bales of hay.

No, this one, (and I know this sounds funny),

Was filled instead with bales full of money.

With a very old driver, so morose and deadpan,

That I knew in a flash it was Alan Greenspan

There was a small note, stuck to each cash bale

With the name of a company too big to fail.

The wagon was drawn by eight sleek mega-bucks

Alan shouted their names as he whipped their buttocks

Now Paulson, Bernanke, Now Rubin and Volcker On Summers, On Krugman, On Cramer and Geithner,

We must get to each companys current retreat!

So I can toss a bale out at the revelers feet"

And so the hay wagon continued on,

Until the last bailout bales were gone.

Greenspan then to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

And as they flew way up into the sky,

Alan cried, I must see Ayn Rand one more time fore I die.

And I heard him exclaim as they flew into the night

"Happy bailouts to all, and to none, oversight!"
