After years of indecision
agreement has been found.
But what has been agreed will fail
because it isn't sound.
In days gone by the Company Store
provided peoples needs, quite well.
Now Europe's role as Company Store
causes debts to mount, it's simply hell
Another day older and deeper in debt.
A true recipe for disaster.
The Euro token's failing fast
and it's no good using sticking plaster.
Cut lots of jobs and wages too,
and then expect that growth will flow.
Just makes no sense to man nor beast
So will it work? We must say no!
Greece becomes a satellite
of Europe's thirst for power.
The rest of us, if it ain't stopped
will soon have need to cower.
How many more millions will go to waste
through Europe's bad mismanaging ways?
Their leaders need to learn and fast
Traditional husbandry always pays.
So without much confidence, we'll wait
No need to grind your teeth.
How soon will Greece come back for more?
Then we can buy the wreath!!

Grim satirical poetry - well done - as a grandma with family over there, I have personal issues as I do here with the recession.
Tightly wound down to the last bite, well done all the same...
