Forget Britney


 



Once upon a time the news was full of Britney Spears
and other light-weight bozos who deserved collective jeers.
We viewed their peccadilloes -- all that late night scrumming --
and gave it more attention than the Bible's Second Coming.
But now for villains Hollywood can really not compete
with the savage monsters who are lurking near Wall Street.
Madoff sure did steal the show; he captured the spotlight.
Anyone on corporate jets will get a huge sound byte.
Bankers and their posh retreats make commentators foam.
Reporters who hate A.I.G. would fill the Astro Dome.
Executives with bonuses the size of Power Ball
are inundated with the media's echoing cat-call.
The frenzy of the media has more than just a whiff
of that Dickens character, the hypocrite Pecksniff.
Reporters have their bonuses and live a rich lifestyle,
compared to all the working stiffs that they would like to rile.
The pot has called the kettle black; that isn't news to me.
I doubt you'll hear about it from the likes of NBC.
