Photo making the rounds

shows Wall St “talent”
with cash stuffed in
pockets and mouth.

In tableau and sketch
such alleged satire hard-
ly new. The crazy money

troopers have split our sides be-
fore with Victorian melodramas

of sobbing widows and orphans
thrust into the freezing night,

or the maiden forced to deal
you know what or face another
ruining. Audience jeers her on.

The sarcastic claim such hacks
lack all soul. Though not in their
profession, grace does manifest

in these hilarious takes on showbiz.
University psychiatrists retort, though,

the whole business demonstrates
deepest internal loathing. Oh well,

those good doctors pilloried
soon enough in mad
Germanic accents.
