  • The Shadow: What a shame,, believe me they won't be missed
    Regards,

  • edited July 2013
    As someday it may happen that a victim must be found
    I've got a little list; I've got a little list-
    Of society offenders who might as well be underground,
    And who never would be missed--they never would be missed!

    There's the pestilential experts who write for financial pubs;
    All people who have flabby minds, and irritating rubs-
    The fellow just behind, who you think is talking to you-
    but when you turn to answer he's on his smartphone too.

    There's the cretins who write letters from Internal Revenue-
    "We've caught your little error and now the debt is due!"
    And security folks who fumbling through your underwear insist...
    "Remove your shoes, remove your pants- and complaining please desist!".

    CHORUS: He's got 'em on the list... he's got 'em on the list;
    And they'll none of 'em be missed- they'll none of 'em be missed!

    Fake financial gurus, and that Suze Orman too...
    follow their advice and you'll wind up with quite a lot to rue.
    Super PACS and congressional quacks who never have a doubt
    that each and every lobby pays quite well for what they tout.

    Mutual funds that don't do so good (there's some of them above)
    and important folks who must be first, so in front of you they shove.
    Financial products of dubious worth and the lawyers not so fine -
    and Wall Street firms with no idea of how to toe the line.

    CHORUS: He's got 'em on the list... he's got 'em on the list;
    And I don't think they'd be missed- I'm sure they'd not be missed!

    And that autodialing nuisance, which just now is rather rife,
    Pushing politicians, and their lies, into your private life--
    That right-wing commentator- yes 'ol Rush has made the list!
    They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed.

    And especially political groups of a non-compromising kind,
    Such as--What d'ye call them... Tea-whatever, and likewise... Nevermind,
    And what's-his-name, and also you-know-who...
    The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you.

    But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,
    For they'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed!

    CHORUS: You may put 'em on the list- you may put 'em on the list;
    And they'll none of 'em be missed... they'll none of 'em be missed!

    With apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan- The Mikado
