Misernomics

the talking heads are also comics these economic geniuses after years are spouting praises of Misernomics quick study concluded we're in arrears and need to decapitalize life today don't spend anything you ain't got to forestall our tomorrow going away good advice founding fathers caught and don't pay for what you don't need so therefore we'll cut back education sound advice in sane person might heed to better manage our bankrupt nation and health and vitality merely frills no need to waste our coins on want when trying to cover economic ills monetary mismanagement returns to haunt what we want is to address our need to count ourselves and sum our greed those roads, bridges, electrical grids mattered back when the things we did were more important than take home pay we'll keep it all and count it up what you knew then, has now gone astray soon Spend-it-omics could again erupt our future, our kids, our progeny all "This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want" matters minor, in our countless pall our poorest desire, the possible, too daunt in the mean time we say "thanks a bunch" We'll save our lives for better times food for thought on societies free lunch We'll save our monied economic crimes as Silas Marner tabled reclusive coins no weighty matters outweigh the economy these fearful economic times purloined might priorities reflect our tragicomedy? © Goode Guy 2011-07-06 we're counting...on you
