The Ceo Is Rolling In Dough

The CEO Is Rolling in Dough


By Elton Camp 


While the company workers’ pay may go down
The CEO surely has no reason he should frown

As it seems that corporations surely want to vie
To see which one can pay its CEO the most high

There’s no doubt the leader should be well paid
But obscene amounts really should be forbade

There is simply no way on this green earth
That one man has such extraordinary worth

If the overcompensated guy should happen to fail
He will be further rewarded instead of sent to jail

Both pension and health care will be provided
Before he was hired that was already decided

No matter how many in the company all have lost
It will take good care of the CEO whatever the cost

Rarely, some like Steve Jobs are worth any price
To see some sanity in compensation would be nice
