No Run on the Bank

Said a Cypriot lady, Maria,
At a bank branch in old Nicosia:
"With the caps they impose
On capital flows,
Withdrawal's a useless idea."

A Peripheral Question

When the banks on the euro zone's fringes
Must be rescued from too many binges,
There's something to lose
And the rescuers choose
The party on whom it impinges.

When the eurozone finally begins
To determine who loses and wins,
Will the outcome be fair
To depositors there
Or the wishes of Germans and Finns?
