Hitting Where It Hurts
Pay cuts for the too big to fail

I pray Lloyd won't promote me.
    I'd rather make a ton of money
As a lowly Goldman trader
    and buy McMansions for my honey.

The more McMansions that I buy,
    the more honeys I impress.
How some top execs will fare
    is anybody's guess.

The only pay cuts Timmy plans,
    for now, affect my bosses.
Our twenty-five best paid execs
    will have the greatest losses.

Just think what they'll be giving up –
    On two hundred thou a year,
Honey and McMansion upkeep's
    quite a hassle, so I hear.
