Subprime-crisis, it was called with much ado
The fairy tales were coming to an end
Markets all over were reversing their trend
The money was going down the drain
governments were calling calm in vain
out of the blues a thought struck me simply
I was reminded of humpty-dumpty
Humpty-Dumpty sat on a wall
markets entice, when up they crawl
Humty-Dumpty had a great fall
Bears creep in silently for a prowl
All the king's horses, all the king's men
Government wakes up to economy in strain
could not put Humpty-Dumpty together again
Bail out is too small to relieve the pain
How come the pets of the wall street,
In days, were brought to their feet
Fed came running to save the phony
and I was reminded of Johny-Johny
Johny Johny, Yes papa (the Fed)
For the helping hand, all banks sped
Eating sugar? No Papa (Asked the Mogul)
Greedy they were instead of frugal
Telling Lies? No papa (Said fed with stern looks)
They lied and cooked their books
Open your mouth, Ha Ha Ha (O! its fine)
Said fed, relax, happens all the time
History is repeated, as they say
While sun shone, they made hay
Collapsed under their own weight
Help approached but too late
People lost their savings indeed
But only to their insatiable greed
Common man is facing trying times
Finding solace in these nursery rhymes
How centuries of wisdom is ignored
when, to money man is lured
Heed to Buffet's words in need
Be very scared of other's greed
