Freddie and Fannie

Hey Freddie and Fannie
I am not your nanny,
yet I gave you the big pill
made of 800 bil.

Tell your buddies on Wall Street
whose mothers they would cheat,
that we’re throwin’ the law book
at each scumbag crook.

We’ll seize all the brute’s vile loot
and each golden parachute,
when they jump from the rooftop
we’ll hear a kerplop.

Then we’ll open the champaign
and sadness we won’t feign,
we’ll fashion their carpet bags
into closing bell flags.

Very nice, I like "I am not your nanny". Hey James, yes I would love your entry in the contest. You need a microphone you can record one of your poems and then create a Mp3 file and upload to YouTube. And the goal is to drive traffic to your YouTube posting. Have fun! You can check mine out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6l6KxvwvZk&feature=related
