The Problem with Bankers

To many people bankers are a source of all their grief,

Their greed and lack of honesty, they feel’s beyond belief;

Not producing anything, just shovelling round the cash,

Knowing that the deals they make are often very rash;

But they get their commission and their bonuses before

Everything goes very wrong, and they are out the door,

Moving on to other fields, where they can wheel and deal,

Shifting money round the world, while knowing it’s not real;

Encouraging all people to increase their slice of debt,

Whilst also raising interest rates as high as they can get;

Perhaps it might be better if the banks were more  restrained,,

And many bankers’ characters were not so badly stained,

If everything were simplified, and dubious deals were banned,

And cautious banks were everywhere in nearly every land.
