When the wicked get possession
OF our funds and spend them free,
And our ire finds full expression,
We are angry as can be-
We condemn each CT -Oked action,
But it's always understood
At the start of the transaction
That the moneys gone for good.
The CRATER whom we're after
Puts the cash where 1t will stay.
And his mild sardonic laughter
Lightly echoes far away.
But we want investigation
And we hold it with a will.
Though our only. compensation
Is a righteous wrathful thrill
