Wailing Bankers
Some bankers who live in Madrid/ Were short of a few billion quid/ A property bubble/ Got them into trouble/ Did we pay the bill? Course we did. /// http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/spain-finally-asks-for-bailout-and-receives-100bn-lifeline-7834237.html
Arrivederci Berlusconi
#Berlusconi has finally quit/After decades of acting the twit/He leaves for posterity/A dose of austerity/And Italy knee-deep in shit.
What a Banker
A veteran Greek central banker/Won out after 5 days of rancour/They named the PM as/Lukas #Papademos/So the ship of state has a new anchor. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/11/world/europe/greek-leaders-resume-talks-on-interim-government.html
Greeks Bare of Gifts
Papandreou the no. 1 Greek/Went into the chamber to speak/But when he got there/The coffers were bare/So his government’s well up the creek. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15586673

Up the Greek
Greek plans for a new referendum/On austerity measures could end ’em/With benefits axed/& rich folk untaxed/MPs may not want to defend ’em. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2011/nov/01/greek-government-teeters-on-brink

Greeks bearing Gifts?
Papandreou the PM of Greece/Is in Germany seeking release/Of cash from the coffers/(Perhaps if he offers/Them Mykonos on a long lease?)
