I      
how now said the dead      
cow to the falling moon      
       
while the dealers cooked      
up murder on a silver spoon      
       
my dear little boy blue,      
come, blow taps on your        
horn      
       
opioids, heroin and      
fentanyl        
       
the end comes much,      
much too  
soon      
       
II      
hickory dickery      
doc      
a virus stopped      
the clock      
time stood still      
as many became      
ill      
a small gift from      
China,      
our friends in      
Wuhan      
to spread fear and death        
far across every land      
       
III      
silicone valley bank      
sat a top a fake wall      
       
silicone valley bank
thought it was above      
it all      
       
but government investments      
went bust      
as interest rates rose up from      
the dust      
       
silicone valley bank fell      
and busted it's shiny
silicone shell      
       
at the end of the day      
no one will  
win     
 
unless the boys in      
Washington bring      
enough money to      
put silicone valley  
back together    
again
