Ode to Grecian Earning

world economies keep on churning
and sliding toward dark disarray
we give a salute to Grecian earning
and the government's save of the day

looking far and wide for debt relief
with debt as a percent of GDP
assuage our soul and release our grief
can't borrow forever, lunch ain't free

Greeks work hard, toil in Mediterranean sun
for government tarnished by corruption
it's harder and harder just to have fun
so we await citizen's wrathful eruption

the papers and net predict imminent doom
the world may just cease to turn
can't seem to produce more to consume
and keep borrowing more than we earn
