Free To Finagle
Gambling with Wall Street's foxes

Foxes will feast in the henhouse tonight
    as Timmy lets banks that are too big to fail
Pay back their TARP and just slither away,
    priding themselves on having jumped bail.

Who'll pay the piper and make good on the losses
    that their machinations brought ev'ryone else?
"Remember the Maine": the homes they've foreclosed on,
    the lives they have ruined. Let's get us some pelts!

Limit the pay of their big moneymakers.
    Take too big to fail firms down a few pegs
By persuading risk takers they ought to jump ship
    so the next time around we won't mind their goose eggs.
