The Emperor of Our Time
Another year has come to an end
Eighteen years in all
This man we call the Fed Chairman
Had the answers to it all
From irrational exuberance
To keeping the dollar strong
And shaking up stock markets
Did this economy no wrong
So much will be written
And so much will be said
About the great Fed Chairman
Even Paul Volcker will admit
Today he said goodbye to us
In the usual Chairman’s style
A quiet man with so much power
“The Emperor of Our Time”
— For Chairman Alan Greenspan 2006
