Is it HIgh Noon for Grexit?

Greece may or may not run out of cash soon--

since the news reports are contradictory--

but April the 9th appears to be High Noon

to face either financial defeat or victory

I'm not sure of the meaning of such a deadline--

How can an entire country be put on a breadline?

Yet staying the whole course with the euro

seems too much for them to enduro.

There certainly is no Gary Cooper or Grace Kelly

to help them fill their collective belly,

so, since it's up to them to choose--

will it be back to the drachma and Zeus?

Leaders to meet in Moscow before Greece’s

loan deadline

Wait, it may not be too late--

for them to escape such a fate--

for now, bearing a big smile and wearing a white hat

with plenty of oil-gotten rubles for their troubles

Vladimir may help them with all that.

Ans when and if necessary, Mr. Putin

doesn't even mind a bit of fancy shootin'.

I wonder, , once they receive his checks,

Will they then decide to call him "Tex" ?*
