They get derided
Economists get chided
Their predictions are so often wrong
But though misguided
Their reasoning is always strong.

They seek no favors
For errors ask no waivers
Right half the time is enough
As for those bum calls
If you lost your shirt , that’s tough.

It isn’t much to ask for
The cushy sinecures they seek
You gotta know that it ain’t easy
Crunching numbers every week.

So....
When they get tired
Or God forbid get fired
Not calling a move by the fed
Don’t laugh your butt off
Show some tenderness instead.
