Don’t worry, the experts assured us,
About assets that we’ve been lacking,
This summer is gonna bring good news,
And the bears will all be sent packing.

The experts were sure of their numbers,
They’re certified masters of tracking,
So we beefed up our portfolios
And we took a nasty shellacking.

Inflation is starting to surface,
The good jobs we lost ain’t returning,
If we’re on a summer comeback trail
It’s a comeback few are discerning.

Don’t worry, the experts predicted,
We are due for a cyclical rise,
Unless things happen we don’t expect
Then of course...
What we said...
Was just lies.
