Economic Sonnet

Note : as an experiment i took a random article from the newspaper and extracted phrases from it to eventually form this sonnet. A fun exercise! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Economic purists say, relief should, Never have been given in the first place. Whether that is true or not, perception, Has always been politically good. Sensitive issues, as they have and could, Ever been percieved as assisting in grace. Relief to be aboloshed! Reflection – Affordability is understood. However, now it is to be removed, People shouldn’t get alarmed, the market Change to this would deem, respite is disproved. Any mortgage taken out – we regret. For seven tax years by that date – and yet We believe this is the case – hmmm, approved!

Very clever, David. I think we need an economic summit to discuss the contents of your economic sonnet! Really like this one. Goes to my favorites. Love, Carolyn
