CNBC's Hedge Funds
The stimulus effect of hedge fund billionaires

We begrudge those bonus millions
    AIG's execs were paid,
But what about the billions
    CEOs of hedge funds made?

As Obama concentrates upon
    constructive ways to spend
Guess where those hedge fund billions
    in all likelihood will end.

Perhaps in secret Swiss accounts?
    More gambles on The Street?
In hopes the next day's wagers
    will help to make ends meet?

Could their billions help folks out of work
    who somehow may have missed
A spot on Alpha magazine's
    Top Hedge Fund Earners List?

How many will die laughing
    as Cramer shorts to an excess?
Or see how much CNBC
    will profit from this mess?

As long as Cramer's antics
    make you feel you, too, can win,
CNBC's disclaimers
    have to warn your next of kin.
