Tim Has Yet Another Plan
And Mrs. Jeremiah Aloysius Withington III applauds

"This is Withington reporting
    from where the dithering is at.
Where cronyism's still a risk,
    and a major one at that.
But so far "moral hazard"
    hasn't reared its ugly head.
If I'd only frozen J.A. like
    those Williams kids froze Ted,
Tim'd put him back in business
    despite his willingness to jump,
As he will good Cousin Bernie.
    God bless this economic slump.

"Tim's offer's only good until
    the thirty-first of May,
That's not much time for getting
    "J.A. Re-Investing" underway,
Catering to widows whose husbands
    leaped before they looked
Into whether Timmy'd loan to friends
    like Madoff who'd been booked,
As well as to their wives who spent
    a tad too much on clothes
Instead of mortgage payments.
    Even Tim knows how that goes.

"So when Geithner loans us money
    and we lose it, what the Hell!
We'll report it to the IRS,
    who Tim's promised not to tell
That he plans to reimburse us
    so there's no way we can lose,
And, although it's not in writing,
    he'll include a case of booze.
So we've got to take advantage of
    this governmental gimme.
It may not be that long before
    somebody cashiers Timmy."
