The Goldman Fracas Poem by Sandra Martyres

Goldman the great banking icon and sensation
Has most certainly lost much of its brilliant sheen
And with it many a young financial engineer's dream
Of finding a position in the once august institution
The Investment Bank is still the talk of the town
But for reasons that replace its smile with a frown
It wears not a shining but rather a tarnished crown
And investors grieve as its stock also tumbles down
Its arrogance is now replaced with quiet defiance
In an attempt to prove to the banking fraternity
That the SEC cannot obliterate its royal paternity
Is that an act to retain its press and public image
To minimise and control its reputation's damage
Whatever be the strategy this erstwhile blue chip
It will need a near miracle to sail its large ship
In the turbulent waters of private and public ire
And save its Management team from regulatory fire
