Yuppy Guppy

Better to fear the Australian yuppy
Whose appearance resembles a guppy
His gyrating gooey festering fin,
the state he’s left the economy in;
Corporate greed, personal ambition
You think Banks care about your opinion?
Consumers consummate crime consumption,
Has made you clones of the Credit card nation;
New job-cuts have become quiet the stunner,
Grab the family, time to do a runner
Yes, by moving to South America,
You can better avoid hysteria;
Don’t forget budget cuts are impending,
It’s your fault stupid for over spending.
You could lose your superannuation,
Sorry you won’t be paid compensation;
Wealth beneath the political surface?
Sure, but that’s not your government’s purpose.
Better pay the yuppy-guppy shark folks,
Avoid the bail-out swim for the life-boat.
