"Memo to a Wall Street Highflier"
By Calvin Trillin, Deadline Poet

It’s more than likely that you caused this wreck
 By schemes like selling what you knew was dreck.
 And ordinary folks have paid the cost:
 Their homes are gone, their livelihoods are lost.
 But friends on high have guaranteed the onus
 Is not on you. Relax. Pick up your bonus.

in Becky Quick and the camera crew for some folksy chit chat over root
beer floats.”
