Look Who's Replacing L. Summers (Three heads are better than one) Blankfein and Altman had each wanted to solo. If He allowed Summers to, why shouldn't they? But He has concluded that He'll need a Trio To save the economy and make our day. So He will be drafting a magnate from each Of our favorite industries, Banks, Oil and Health, And charge them with fixing the mess they've created, The grossly unequal distribution of wealth. His lame duck Congress will be more than delighted To at last work together to author a bill To punish each Trio, if it's not successful, With public beheadings à la Mr. de Mille. These heart warming spectacles for the unemployed Will be repeated as long as the bill is extended And new Trios are drafted and done away with… Could losing top "earners" be what He intended? But SuperRich moguls in "government service" Are a long standing tradition. So what's going to be new? It's the public beheadings rewarding their failures, And the cake we'll be eating as He cuts each in two.
