Satirical Verse

Wall Street Poet Blog



 

Tim Geithner has weakened, delayed, or outright killed any proposal that would undermine the interests of Wall Street investment banks. Any relationship between his actions as Secretary of the Treasury and the well-being of Main Street Americans appears incidental or accidental. It's really time for this man to be ushered from the scene...  

Make Tim Geithner Go
(Sung to the tune of
"Let My People go")

With Geithner heading Treasury,
Make Tim Geithner go;
We're drowning in his policies,
Make Tim Geithner go;
Cash in, bank chits,
Collect, your sinecure;
Take Larry Summers, too,
And make Tim Geithner go.

The markets shaped by Geithner's hands,
Make Tim Geithner go;
For Goldman Sachs he takes his stands, 
Make Tim Geithner go;
Go 'way, Geithner,
Your welcome, here, is now long past,
Make way, for old Tall Paul;
And make Tim Geithner go,

You killed the Wall Street bonus tax,
Make Tim Geithner go;
You won't control those swap deal quacks,
Make Tim Geithner go;
Go 'way, Geithner,
You don't, protect, the likes of us;
Your boss, best wake up soon,
And make Tim Geithner go.

"Nowadays, you can't turn on the TV without some talking head telling you about the economy. Yet, in a world overrun by 'analysts,' only one man has the guts, the brains, and, quite frankly, the poetry to put it all in perspective.That man is Michael Silverstein... Silverstein is a true intellectual." — Gersh Kuntzman, The New York Post

"Few people have found much to laugh about in the stock market this year. Michael Silverstein is the exception. The Bard of the Bourse can find humor in losing money, globalization and stock options." — USA Today
