Promoting Ponzi Schemes
aka Senatorial stimuli

Madoff! Florida! Dubai!
    The Ponzi Scheme edures.
But timing is essential
    to be sure you get yours.

Get in and get out early
    to guarantee that you're paid off
By other piggies who belatedly
    have learned about the trough

With its higher dividends
    than normally are paid,
Or rising housing prices
    so with each sale a profit's made.

But now the Senate's helping
    with their buy-a-house tax break:
Sell your house to your own brother.
    Divvy up the take.

Money won't be changing hands;
    you're loaning to yourself
With BofA and Citygroup
    remanded to the shelf,

Waiting for Tim Geithner
    who's s'posed to detail how they'll steal
Before Obama wises up
    and orders a repeal.

But if you've done your flipping
    before it isn't apropos,
You'll earn a Moodys rating
    of Potential CEO

Plus fifteen grand repeatedly
    for ev'ry house you've flipped.
Just think of the Republicans
    you'll manage to have gypped!
