BANKER'S FIB

by Neal Whitman
with due respect to Leonardo Fibonacci


“The big brains in banking just aren’t feeling the love.” --The New York Times

“President Obama is aiming to water down Democratic proposals on pay caps for banking executives because he fears a “brain drain” on Wall Street.” --The Times


Brain
drain
banker
makes the claim:
"I am worth the bucks,
even if my performance sucks."


Neal Whitman is a featured author on www.shortpoem.org where he posts one haiku per season and is a frequent contributor of fibs to www.fibetry.com.
