'Xonerating is frightfully easy
   when the 'xonerator is me.
So why does it seem to be harder
   for that pain in the butt SEC?
Is it because there's a new set of rules
   they use when they're governing me?
New and more of them to try to enforce?
   Is that what the trouble could be?

As a s'posed-to-know insider
   selling piles of stock,
Why should disclosure filing rules
   require I beat the clock?
Poppy says his court someday
   will let me be 'the man'.
Meanwhile he'll help to pull some strings
   so I avoid the can.

Kenny Boy and Martha,
   and Bernie Ebbers too,
Remember that George W
   is different than you.
Not only do I break the laws,
   but soon I'll make them too.
Then there'll be protection for
   the likes of me and you.
