Green Oasis

It’s natural but counterproductive to feel resentment that irresponsible homeowners may be bailed out.

The wise man built his house upon the Rock,
The wise man built his house upon the Rock,
The wise man built his house upon the Rock,
And the rains came tumbling down.

The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
But the house on the Rock stood firm.

The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
And the rains came tumbling down.

The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
And the house on the sand fell flat.

The wise man felt smug about the foolish man’s plight,
The wise man felt smug about the foolish man’s plight,
The wise man felt smug about the foolish man’s plight,
So he learned the meaning of schadenfreude.

The prices came down and the interest came up,
The prices came down and the interest came up,
The prices came down and the interest came up,
And he cut off his nose to spite his face.
