Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
Dr. Warren & Mr. Buffett

Mr. Buffett, Dr. Warren,
    Hyde and Jekyll – What a laugh.
Given time, the truth will out
    with your reputation cut in half.

From Berkshire Hathaway to Moodys,
    Mr. Buffett's on the skids.
Ratings have become a function
    of the bank originator bids.

Most would see conflicts of interest;
    the public sees chicanery.
What arouses Buffett's interst?
    The Moodys Rating Guarantee:

Bank securitizes garbage,
    paying Moodys. Is it fair
That Moodys, banks and Mr. Buffett
    say, "Goodbye, buyer beware"?

Then as soon as Paulson-Blankfein
    scuttled Lehman after Bear,
Dr. Warren's Mr. Buffett
    bought a hefty Goldman share.

The synergy of Goldman-Moodys
    guarantees a whirlwind profit.
Dr. Warren's failing ethics
    couldn't keep his Buffett off it.

Should Dr. Warren be forgiven?
    Is it in Buffett's DNA?
The gene that OKs Moodys' rating
    most Re-Remics Triple A?
