Wall Street Trader

He was a sociable chap,
A bit of a clown,
Yet a sharp and ruthless
Trader of renown,
His manipulations were
The shrewdest in town,
He got away with inside
Trading and other chicanery,
Thus, putting his firm
And clients into bankruptcy,
Happily contributing
To our nation's misery,
But now he enjoys his liberty,
With a huge stash of money,
On Bahamas' beaches
Where it's nice and sunny.
