Jilted?
By Wall Street narcissists

Jilting Timmy Geithner is a horrid thing to do,
Considering the billions Timid Tim has helped them to,
Revealing what a primma donna Mister Blankfein is
And the narcissistic nature of the bailed-out banking biz.

Lloyd's striving to appear as if he didn't need the dough,
But where did billions Hank paid out to AIG's crooks go?
AIG made sure Lloyd's firm was fully reimbursed
So that his monstrous toxic asset bubble wouldn't burst.

But why'd they pay top dollar when the dollars paid were ours,
Making Blankfein one of Wall Street's few remaining powers?
Now Timmy needs to jimmy Jamie's profits even higher
In case Chase's chief accountant is an unconvincing liar.

Are these guys unpatriotic in continuing to price
Their toxic assets at a level no one looks at twice?
Will Timmy take them over if these banks won't write them off,
Unwilling to acknowledge they're still piggies at Tim's trough?
