How Sad
Old Mac makes plans

How sad those lovely Lehman Brothers
    weren't given, maybe, just another week.
They could have said, "Hey, Mother,
    it was just a losing streak."

With two out in the ninth
    and just before he gets the axe,
Hank gets preferential treatment for
    his pals at Goldman Sachs,

Some of which might have rubbed off
    on the Brothers Lehman
So they, too, could take a powder
    in the Islands Cayman.

That's where McCain and trophy wife
    are staging their big meeting
With Paulson's logical successor,
    wealthy Secretary Keating.
