Chinese Derivatives
(But no Republican credit default swaps)

Is Communist China still funneling money
Through the Chamber of Commerce in order to buy
U.S. politicians who're so angry at having
To work Christmas week that they've made Boehner cry?

Have Kyl and DeMint turned their backs on religion?
Is their Christmas shopping a thing of the past?
Or are they spending yen that the Chamber is laundering
On Chinese made crèches with a bronze Chinese cast?

CEO Blankfein's not at all sympathetic.
Christmas has never meant that much to him.
He's far more concerned with Chinese derivatives
And whether they'll believe that his real name is Kim.

Although the name Blankfein was his key to the boardroom,
To whom does Kim pray for a job overseas?
And could he survive without Wall Street's vigorish?
Is corruption endemic among the Chinese?

In old movies the Chinese were famous as gamblers,
But some Default Swaps have even them running scared.
All those Tea Party plans for our Constitution
Will leave Mitch's attempts at survival impaired.
