The Casinos Remain Open
For even more shylocks

Too big to fail? Well, make 'em smaller.
    Cut 'em down to size!
But Tim and Larry wouldn't dare.
    They, too, are too big guys.

Instead they'll tweak the regulations
    to extend their safety net
And let more shylocks try to get
    as big as they can get.

We'll see casinos end up bigger
    than they were before,
All run and regulated by
    the same miscreant corps,

Most of whom screwed up in spades,
    yet who has gone to jail?
Not our Timid Tim who watched
    as Citi's head turned tail,

Witnessed Blankfein's dress rehearsal,
    overlooked John Mack's dry run,
But shunned those Lewis/Pandit patsies.
    Chaos wasn't that much fun.

Put ev'rything you've got on Red.
    Why should you giants worry?
If Black comes up the winner,
    they'll rescue big guys in hurry.

This Treasurer is one of you;
    so's Larry, his advisor.
They won't let you go belly-up.
    That's a load of fertilizer.

Sure, you screwed up, as did Henry
    and his regulators.
No way will you guys go to jail.
    You're Fed enabled perpetrators.

Like CIA untouchables
    who do the waterboarding,
You'll be back; do it again.
    You must find it rewarding.
