Weekend Wall Street Wrap-up, by A E Housman
Wal-Mart hemorrhages cash,
McDonalds had a major crash,
Exxon passed its dividend,
And Google’s in a downward trend.
The Chairman of the mighty Fed
Was murdered as he slept in bed,
And turmoil in the Middle East
Has made the bear a raging beast.
The latest hedge-fund Ponzi scheme
Surpasses Madoff’s wildest dream.
Foreclosures reached a record high,
Though no one knows exactly why.
Without a paddle, up the creek,
Wall Street had a brutal week.
(Though, looking at the brighter side,
Cuba’s Castro finally died.)

Reason: A few small tweaks - and a few more a few days later.
