When Wall Street Sneezes The Whole World Catches Cold

Ben Bernanke lost his hanky,
Henry Paulson found it.

Seven Hundred Billion Dollars,
Needed to get Round it.

The alliterative name of the Chaiman of the US Federal Reserve, who became famous during the financial crisis in Sepetember 2008, gave me the idea for this simple rhyme, based on Lucy Locket. The Kitty Fisher role goes to Henry Paulson, the Republican Treasury Secretary (appointed by George W Bush) who came up with a so-called 'rescue package' costing $700,000,000,000. With a ribbon round it, I hope.
