A Poem for Goldman Sachs

SEC accuses Goldman Sachs of civil fraud

One bright day in the middle of the night
One dead stock still stood upright
Back to back it faced disaster
Hedged some time by shorting another

It was blind but still could see
Did it bribe officials as referees?
Its blind trust was the one "sure thing"
As retail investors shouted, "Bling! Bling!"

But paralyzed wise men passed them by
For fear of bad bets in disguise
Would the profits both rise and fall?
Or would a dry spell drown them all?

A deaf SEC finally heard the noise
And thought to accuse those sinful ploys
If you don't believe this lie is true
Ask Goldman Sachs, did they bet they'd lose too?
