Banker Poetry

Heard this last night on CBC Radio:

http://www.cbc.ca/thisisthat/blog/2014/10/23/inside-the-secretive-world…

In this piece we go underground and and meet a group of individuals who by day work in finance - but at night are proud members of a secret group of Bay Street slam poets.

Listen to the audio

Thoughts on this?

Fuck the regulator cops All about them exit opps Give my left nut to have KKR on my business card Just thinking about it gets me hard Will Henry answer my cold e-mail? If I get Carlyle that would be a massive fail How are my chances to get into Harvard? If I don't get in I will throw myself over starboard Sinking to the bottom of the deep blue sea Too obsessed with prestige to notice misery is me
