There Were Some Crooked Men

ENRON sign

There were some crooked men
Who cooked some crooked books.
They said all was well, you know,
And gave us knowing looks.

They hired a crooked accounting firm,
That had a crooked computer mouse,
And they all thrived together
With connections to the White House.

William's Whimsical Words:

Their mistake was choosing careers in business instead of politics. As politicians they would have been rewarded for deceiving most of the citizenry.
