One to get you going - to "Away In a Manger" (if you try hard) -You can do better !!
:rotfl::rotfl:
We gave em our money
For them to keep safe
The bankers they lost it
A bonus to make.
They gambled unwisely
On certified debt
Triple As, that were Junk bonds
But looked a good bet.....
As the banks came a tumbling
Kind Gordon stepped in
Said the people would save them
Even though there’d be pain
He gave them our money
To keep them all safe.
But the bankers just stashed it
Their bonus to pay
(shouldn't drink at lunch time..)

Whilst Shepherds watched - amalgamation :xmassmile
Whilst traders watched their screens all day - (DIzzy)
Their funds all slipped away
Just where they’d gone they never knew
And still don’t to this day.

I suspect, from memory of earlier posts and continuing the Christmas theme, that he is a Mary ..... not a Joseph!
Which - as 'he' hasn't countered it - could leave me as the a s s?(bit silly you can't say that, without spaces, at Christmas!)
If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !0 -
