The Grinches of Wall Street 'Twas the night before Christmas And through the Senate and House The money was flowing To each Wall Street louse The hedge fund managers and CEOs Had told their tales of financial woes Their stories were naughty - not very nice They told of private jets and gluttonous vice Meanwhile on Main Street the people were sad No one could explain why things had gotten so bad Some said the cause was market speculation Others said Capitalism was the right explanation Santa's elves should create a People's State End all war, poverty, and hate A Single Payer System would keep us healthy Enough food for all - no need to be wealthy At the shelter, the children were snuggled in their beds As nightmares of forclosure danced through their heads A holiday miracle is what we need - On second thought - we just might have to secede
