Discredit Default Swaps

Mayumi and Richard Heene,
Fittingly which rhymes with meanie,
Had good cause to fear the sheriff
When their young son quit the attic.
That’s when we all got a rank whiff:
Their balloon might be one sick trick.

Some of his Best Friends use Toilets

Louisianans ought to hate
Their throwback of a magistrate
Who won’t wed couples white and black,
A rebuff that has drawn attack
From people all around globe
Who think he’s some HighYellar-phobe.

How on earth do parents reason
Kids should skip swine-flu vaccines?

Relative of 1918’s.

U.S. stats have reached a million;
Last six months, a thousand died.
Cousin, granted, not outdone
Left 40 million killed worldwide.
