The MortgAge of Crisis unleashed
Ripple effects across Pacific rim
Sending FantAsian market panic waves
Drowned in losses capsizing trust
Default tremors felt around globe
Shaky infestments sinking ship bailouts
On verge of edgy collapse
Wall Street quakes seismic cracks
Made in America dollar doldrums
Turning greenback on unstable nightmares
Grunge plunge lacking .common cents
Monopoly Chinese checkers lost marbles
Bravo newwworld pecking order
Cocksure gambling clipped hedge bets
Recycling chicken feed protecting assets
Cracked nest egg dirty yolk
Bulls and bears trading places
Bondage dominated by corporated X-spurts
Volatile stock market defaulty panic
Hiccoughs cure-all elixir censorry blips
Rising Status Quo Vadis downfall
Crap shoot roll of indices
Playing Euro-peon fantAsian American-can roulette
Cornered pawns squarely unbalanced Checkmate
