Stop and dry those tears. We knew this would happen. Even if it did take years. So be big boys and girls. Please do not get your undies in a bunch. Just play the hunch. Crying won't help but buying might. Watch the smart fellars and follow the crunch. We know they know what it is all about. They have a finger on the pulse. Plus they are choking too. Let's hope your nest egg does not go to rot or your mutual funds do not just sot and sot. Go out and play . Have fun with sticks but do not hit each other. Hit that little white ball. That has always helped before. Forget the bottle it makes you poorer.

Oh the market is so bad
And so many are very sad
Our congress says we will bail
I hope someone will go to jail

One bank here one bank therey
Oh my my it is so scarey
We'll all eat green eggs and rotten hammy
If we think we'll get money from Uncle Sammy

Politicians are acting sappy
While they feed us a bunch of crappy
Vote for me is what they're sayin
All I do is keep on prayin

But we brought this on our selves my friends
Because of greed, and freebies, with no end
No one yelled,and no one hollared
Everyone's hand out for the dollars

When oh when will people see that money
doesnt grow from the governments tree
That money was yours, that money was mine
And our children will pay for a long long time.

Its gonna take 20 years or more
For our nation to restore
I will be long in my grave
God Bless this nation home of the brave.

This is the end of my sad tale
of our Governments big bail.
And Ill be surprised
if Franks goes to jail.

I was eating a raisin
While I was a gazin’
At something amazin’
Up in the sky
At what was I lookin’
My mind was a cookin’
And a little bit spookin’
How on earth could it fly
On the bench I did sit
For more than a bit
Rubbed my eyes in a fit
and kept wondering why
Was it all in my mind
Did I drink too much wine
Lay it all on the line
With a call to my guy
I was eating a raisin
While I was a gazin’
At something amazin’
And then it waved bye bye

Ellie the elaphantus went to the opera. She sat in a seat most gigantus. Along came a mouse and said "boo" in a voice most bodacious.

Ellie threw up her trunk and let out a bellow. Down the the aisle she ran and brought down the house. Everyone yelled, three cheers for the mouse. He is a jolly good fellow.

Writing for me comes ever hard,
it is easier for me to water my yard.

Writing for me is not very easy
and it is making me quinsy.

Writing for me is not a natural thing,
words jam up then come out in strings.

Writing for me seems like a trap,
I say this when I really meant that.

Writing for me is very hard work,
when I get done I feel like a jerk.

Writing for me is now done,
I’m going back in my yard to have fun.

OK I told you I wasn't good at this. But here goes:

Today is a rotten day
Because I can't go out and play
My mother is crying
and my father is pulling his hair
Because the insurance man came
And took away our last chair.

So now I sit on the floor
as I wonder what next,what more.
I can't sit and watch TV
Dad took it and pawned it at the store.

I don't know what we will do
People all over are very sad
Since they say a crisis has come to all
Everyone is wondering what to do
And the government is doing everthing bad

So if I could just go out and play
And not see Mom and Dad so sad
Maybe things will soon get better
And I wouldn't stay so mad.
