The Gravy Train-A Parable

I received a golden hello But nothing of banking I know On commodities, the future I bet For large bonuses each year,to net Too soon the 'bubble' has burst Of course,everyone else,has come off worse But I do not reap what I sow They gave me parachute payout & pension to go Global finances,crash into debt Yet still I have no regrets ...(yet !)

That sounds like the economy all over the world and many who experience a financial uproar. Nice work and it has gravity here in my home. David-
