Overpaid Traders



Many think they’re important, just because they have money to burn,
Believing that they are superior, and deserve every penny they earn.
But when a crash comes and they’re jobless, they find out how much they are worth,
Discovering then to their horror, that of jobs they can do there’s a dearth
Except at a much reduced salary, a fraction of what they’d believed
Was their value to any employer, based on what they before had received.
And many who earned a small fortune and expect they’ll soon find a new role
Discover they’ve few skills to offer, and often end up on the dole.
It’s happened before in the City, and no doubt will happen again,
Bringing a shock of reality to swathes of the banking world’s men.
