Sub Prhyme
I wrote a poem for this hedge fund guy
Not one of my best, but I didn't know why.
Hedge Fundie rubbished my rhyme,
Said it was sub prime
But don't worry, he said, "It's not a crime -
Leave it with me, I can do something for you,
I think I can give it some added value."
So he bundled it up with some other verses
Wrapped in derivatives and other curses
And told me he would park it
In a secondary market
Which nurses
Bad verses
Till a buyer is found
Or any other sucker around
And that was the last I heard.

Until... last week's collapse of poetry unfurled
With a domino effect on the developing world.
And me being arrested with this hedge fund vulture
Accused of the collapse of Third World culture.
I pleaded innocence which turned out a pity
As it didn't score high with the Senate Committee.
I got sentenced to a poetentiary
With other versers considered subprime.
Don't they know that crime breeds crime?
