Lending To The Greeks
by Todd Outcalt
The Euro, once brash
With stalwart panache,
Has now lost its clout and mystique.
The Italians won't lend
To the Spanish, and friend,
Nobody will lend to a Greek.
The Union cartels
Know that everything smells
And the info is on wiki-leaks,
But the deeper they sink
They continue to think
That the problem is all with the Greeks.
Though Athens makes pleas
And quotes Socrates
To the rest of the world they're antiques.
The Belgians don't trust
And the Euro is bust
Since no one will lend to the Greeks.
But perhaps there's a chance
That the Pope learns to dance
Or the gods will come down from their peaks,
If the kings and the crown
Help the Euro rebound
And everyone lends to the Greeks.
