CREDIT CRUNCH

Why the Credit Crunch?

Monday, October 13, 2008

Hi Islay

You really want more thoughts re the economic Fall? OK sit back.....

THE CREDIT CRUNCH...Hey Mr Banker!

Oh Crickey Crunch! Who’se taken the money
Living the life of cake and bee’s honey?
Ok you know perks are rare on the ground
At least that’s my feeling, that’s what I found.

But £4m for just being on target?
Robbing the poor, the rich and aunt Margaret
How can a grave digger earn his bonus?
Oh I see, finding a body shooting up crocus!

Or how does a baker make better bread?
Keeping the recipe under his bed?
Or how does the Priest earn the right of a favour
By making the wine taste religious in flavour?

And how can a postman deliver much better
Parcels and birthday cards and the dreaded tax letter?
I think you see the point I am making
Jobs are not just there for the taking.

So why are the bankers creaming the profits?
Do they think they’re God or even his prophets?
Bankers get salaries like you and like me
So Banker pay back, your bonus was free.
