Blankfein Warns His Bonus Babies
Flashy is out at Goldman Sachs, this year

"The problem with our bonuses
    has been how some were spent.
Bernanke's still unhappy with
    where lots of his bucks went.

"Like Jessie in accounting bought
    the White Sox for her Ma
And the Erie Lackawanna
    as a plaything for her pa.

"This year's got to be diff'rent;
    we can't be seen as foolish.
Those Michael Jackson pyramids
    that Jessie's planned are ghoulish.

"And Dennis in Debentures will drop
    his Erin Burnett bid.
A win could boost his ego
    but also devastate his id.

He never knew the asking price;
    only Mark Haines does,
And apparently Mark's waiting
    till it's lower than it was.

"But Billy in the stockroom will be
    buying Geithner out.
A measly million bucks or two?
    Tim's house is Bill's without a doubt.

"If Billy wants a mortgage,
    Gladys in the steno pool
Says she's a few mil set aside
    and thinks mortgage lending's cool.

"It's our traders I am worried on.
    They're trying to save face.
But is a hotel on Atlantic
    worth three houses on Park Place?"
