Bankruptcy Haiku

Bill enjoys writing haiku as a release from the pressures of the bankruptcy law world. In keeping with the tradition of the great zen bankruptcy masters, please feel free to add to the chain by writing your own haiku in the comments section below.

****************

To write all weekend

But convey nothing. ‘Tis my

Disclosure statement

****************

Consumers suffer

But my main worry: How to

pronounce BAPCPA?

****************

Many times I hear

“Yes, I’m in bankruptcy.”

The joke grows old

****************

Indignation and

Litigation all for two

Cents on the dollar

****************

Soaring overhead

They gather in Bowling Green

To tear at the meat

****************

Corporate frenzy
Bosses stuffing their pockets
Workers only stuffed.

Stockholders get stiffed
Bosses get fat bonuses
Business as always

I made an oopsie!
Uncle Sugar save me now!
Screw the little folks.

Some people forget
That economic crises
aren't news for the poor

Bad news is no news for us. :(

While empires crumble
Those Poppy sales break records
In Afghanistan

Welfare? They give it
happily to bail out banks.
People? Not so much.

All your bases are
belong to us, belonging
to the allmighty. You.

I've been Bushwacked
once again
screw the Republicans

Aren't we poor enough?

Obama will raise taxes

Change we can believe


Grand war on terror

because they hate our freedoms

but we gave them up


Bad patriot act

All our telephones are tapped

Think that'll change too?

I have a few rip-off artists whose names I'd submit

Bad Unabomber
Blowing people all to hell
Do you take requests?

So what else is new?
Ponzi schemes unraveling
A dollar means what?

Bookmaking Galore
Derivative Disaster
And we all get stuck

Extreme leverage
Executive bonuses
Capital bye bye

No hands on the wheel
Ayn Rand and followers
Screwed the whole country

You're too big to fail
If you are a Paulson friend
But we can't find out.
