There once was a man called Berlusconi
Whose plans for his country was somewhat phoney
So with his country in despair he had to step aside
For the Italian economy has problems it seems he denied
In the neighbourhood was a man called Sarkozy
He knew that in the Euro all was not rosy
So in his plan it is the banks he must bail
A mammoth task but for him the Euro can’t fail
On the other side we have Greece with Papedemos
As of yesterday he is the new boss
Aware is he that Greece is on a slippery slide
Out of Euro they’ll be if they don’t stop the tide
And not forgetting Chancellor Angela Merkel
The Germans are not to be left out of the circle
Would that they still had the Deutsche Mark
Because this situation is certainly no walk in the park
In all this is for us a lesson to be learnt
Lest we too, God-forbid, get our fingers burnt
So the message is simply “live not beyond your means”
We all must, even those with demanding teens
