Stand-Up Poem of the Month
September 2010
"I'm just scaring you, ain't I?"
--Drunkin' kooky dame, upon kissing Sloop and falling into his lap
during his hosting of a "Flabby Hoffman" show at Phyllis' Musical Inn, Chicago
Heavy Meddle
(Another sample from Sloop's syndicated "News of Our Time--In Rhyme"--available from Continental Features/Continental News Syndicate!)
Reforming our financial system’s goal
of Dodd-Frank Bill--or is it to boost pols?
Both namesakes of the bill stoked sub-prime mess--
pushed homes for those whose income was…un-blessed.
Two-thousands pages plus, rules and regs new
and yet it’s hard to tell… What does it DO?
With folks incensed, “Do SOMETHING!” cry does ring--
that's just what this bill does. It does…something.
Bad corp’rate deeds that brought Recession on
were crimes! Yet banks and such, they did abscond!
So we’re to start-up new Fed agencies--
to snooze like SEC, FDIC?…
As helpful as Fed’s foreclosure “relief”--
miss three payments and help we can bequeath!
But those of us who teeter on the edge?
We’ll send you rope--once you fall off the ledge!
