Prosecuting Wall Street?
(Why not?)

Wall Street has banks "too big to jail?
But didn't they screw themselves up a little while back?
Rumor has it that all trading was not on the up-and-up
Yet investigators found Wall Street a tough nut to crack.

Or were they influenced by the potential culprits?
For Summers, Geithner and Holder that sure seems the way.
Who dangled enticements in front of law enforcement?
Did someone look away to augment his pay?

We'll start by assuming that isn't the case.
Can you tell someone's guilty by the look on his face?
Maybe some can, but there are lots more who can't
Unless they're tipped off by a rubber tree plant

With a microphone hidden in it by whistleblowers from Booze.
Do you remember how dense that plant's foliage isn't or is?
Do rubber tree plants cast much of a shadow?
Guess who must have failed that part of the quiz?
Has the Booze choice of plants caused prosecutors to lose?
