The R Word

         THE "R" WORD

 

 

Nobody but a Hessian

Would say we're in Recession;

The business climate's stronger than an ox.

 

So the housing market's slumped

And junk bonds are being dumped?

There's plenty gelt inside our dear Fort Knox!

 

And the homeless that you see

Are of such fine quality;

They're better dressed than Third World paupers, sure.

 

Yes, the kitchens where they eat

Are a gustatory treat!

The Food Channel should put them on their tour.

 

Unemployment may be rife

And your job could get the knife

But everyone's got savings in the bank.

 

It's a bit of holiday

With some bills you cannot pay –

Consider it a harmless little prank.

 

Whether bear or whether bull,

On Wall Street they are chock full

Of honest fellows with a steady hand.

 

They will guide your money right

Into pockets mighty tight;

You'll never miss that paltry twenty-grand!

 

The economy is sound

Though the dollar's in the ground.

That wolf upon your doorstep is a fraud.

 

There's a bone in every pot.

Grassy streets are Camelot.

And rebates will rain down on every clod!

 

Treat Recession as a joke,

Wheel of Fortune sans a spoke.

The happy days will be here very soon.

 

When you see your banker's smile

Do not let it rouse your bile.

Just turn the other cheek and shoot the moon!
