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

:D (shouldn't drink at lunch time..)

    Am on a roll - "whilst shepherds watched" - add a verse :rolleyes:

    Whilst traders watched their screens all day
    Their funds all slipped away
    Just where they’d gone they never knew
    And still don’t to this day.

    But if you send a film crew round
    to watch those banking fools
    You’ll see the wealth of this fair land
    Paid for their swimming pools…

    So if you banked with RBS
    AND Northern Rock me thinks
    It's all your fault, get off this board,
    Coz you're the bloody jinx!

    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 !
