Pherica Schmerica

Bank of America,

sultans of currency,

captains of greed.



Scourge of the ne'er-do-well,

denominational,

you mortgage your lifestyle

and they hold the deed.



******



A student who always got A's,

he never got nothin' but praise,

when he dropped to a C

he declared, "Woe is me!

I hope that it's merely a phase!"
