Cast aside the idle rumors
Our downfall stems from Baby Boomers
Shallow,greedy,and corrupt
Their selfish end will be abrupt

Want to keep up with the Jones?
Just max the card and get more loans!
Monthly payments can’t be met?
Go borrow more-create more debt

Spoiled children college fees?
A student loan from U.S.C.
Pushing paper is the key
There’s less for you and more for me

Avoid the guilt, don’t get involved
When you’re depressed, just hit the mall
Spending is the panacea
For monetary diarrhea

A sub-prime loan and new Mercedes
Toboggan ride straight down to Hades
Don’t fret about financial cancer
A Starbucks latte is the answer

Soccer moms and C.E.O.’s
Will add hope to this sordid prose
The S.U.V.’s and added fees
Are somehow comforting to me

Let’s help the lawyers and the bankers
We trust them as financial anchors
Print more money- max inflation
And please move forward with elation

700 billion dollars?
Where did it go? They heard us holler
Faster than a Titan rocket
Straight into their waiting pockets

God bless you all- says Mr. Bush
While calmly sitting on his tush
The sheep are shorn
My welcome worn
But please don’t look so darn forlorn

By keeping your composure
While your house is in foreclosure
You can now appreciate
My feeble efforts were too late

So look forward to the coming years
While crying in your empty beers
This is now an invocation
To the new “Obamanation”
