A brilliant masterpiece of financial verse

On the topic of financial poetry, check out this fabulous song on YouTube by Ferris, Baker Watts broker Gregg Somerville. The Subprime Mortgage Blues is the best 12-bar summary of the current financial crisis I have ever heard. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll learn why George Washington is about to trade his place on the dollar bill for Chairman Mao.
