We haven’t run any new limericks in awhile. Here’s a half-dozen that sum up some worries now facing markets and the economy in general.
Uncle Sam Falls
Off The Debt Wagon
We thought his old ways he was mending
That Sam had stopped deficit spending
But cutbacks ain’t easy
They make voters queasy
Now all good intentions he’s bending.
The Golden Years Revisited
I never thought stocks were just wagers
Another crap shoot for big splurgers
No one made a mention
I could lose my pension
And end at Big Mac flipping burgers.
Life At A Time Of
Rising Unemployment
When jobs are quite easy to find
You needn’t endure the old grind
Now things are much harder
So you play the martyr
And pray your old grind don’t unwind.
Soaring Bodily Upkeep Costs
My medical tab keeps on soaring
It’s reached levels that brook no ignoring
My boss won’t defray it
So I gotta pay it
And my budget is taking a goring.
Preparing A Verbal
Response To War
For my stocks I am not very sure
What the upcoming war holds in store
Of course I will grumble
If they merely stumble
But I’ll screech if they plunge through the floor.
No More
Shop-Till-You-Drop
In a land once obsessed with consuming
More and more folks have now begun pruning
‘Bout spending they’re nervous
And the debt that they service
Could this mean recession is looming?
