Author’s note: Yesterday, the piece on slithering wrote itself. Morning events now portend a dark magic most humans alive today have never seen.

Ten little investment banks
Standing in a line
One stood lookin’ at another one’s credit line
Then there were nine

Nine wild assed investment chiefs
Their hearts all full of greed
One took another’s goods
Then there were eight

Eight little money warriors
Their assets just descended down from Heaven
One told a lie about another’s best friend
Then there were seven

Seven little chiefs
All tryin’ to get their kicks
One thought he’d found secret cheesy way back to Heaven
Too many holes — then there were six

Six little warriors
All tryin’ to stay alive
One took another’s money line life
Then there were five

Five little bankers
All tryin’ to find the escape door
One threw his mother down
Then there were four

Four little banking chiefs
All thinkin’ that they gotta be free
One little chief forgot to say his prayers
Then there were three

Three little chiefs
Decidin’ what they’re gonna have to do
One took the name of God on TV in vain
Then there were two

Two little Injuns
Thinkin’ that they oughta have some fun
One took a likin’ to a picture of himself
Then there was one

One petitie chief
Out lookin’ for his sun
At six o’clock the moon came out
Then there were none
