IMF: Bank-Sector Stress Worsens Downturns

Downturns

Whilst asleep we thought was well,

the Reserve came along to cast it's spell!

Cheap credit rained down upon the crowd

to those who spent and cheered aloud,

"Let us praise those who have the know,

if we ask them nice they can make it snow

and fill the scene with solemn white

and can turn the day into the night!”

For we owe to them a thanks so much,

for they're the ones with the magic touch!

Give him a house and him one too

There’s more to give, so much to do!

We have the might to print a buck

to buy a house or brand new truck!

Just don't ask where they may work,

you'll feel silly more like a jerk!

He’ll thank us later when he’ll pay more,

we work though greed and nothing

More!

And we’ll get ours if we sharpen axes,

And we'll collect it all; if it means taxes!
