	THURSDAY 27TH NOVEMBER Credit crunch - from bad to verse Last night poet Murray Lachlan Young came on the programme to discuss the role of the poet laureate - with current incumbent Andrew Motion - after the government's announcement it will seek the public's help to pick a new national poet. And Murray chipped in with our economics coverage on the fall of High Street stalwarts Woolworths and MFI with his own ode to the credit crunch. We'd like you to chip in too. By way of inspiration, here's Murray's poem: Adios then Woolworths Farewell MFI Bon voyage the QE2 Now resting in Dubai Back home the crunch is grinding The dyno stores must fall Each day another famous name is driven to the wall So as winter comes among us And thousands face the dole Whilst Gordon shovels borrowed wedge into his giant hole What is there to rely on? Whilst politicians bitch and fight Well, I suppose one thing is for certain we know You're still assured a good old fashioned kicking if you venture onto Newsnight. Click here to watch Murray's reading: We know you're a creative lot, so in these dark times why not cheer us up with your own credit crunch verse by adding your thoughts here?
