Voting For Spendy or Spender

Most votes went to Spender or Spendy While few went to Thrifty Who couldn’t keep pace And fell out of the race For he came up lame Right during the game But what was his name? Who cares Speaking of who cares About Spendy or Spender Because either of them Will go on spending benders Just to satisfy Their central bank guy Whom they can’t deny And is the reason why (Though most don’t know why) They all voted for Spendy or Spender And could care less about Thrifty Oh my (And no, Thrifty is NOT Biden)

Thrifty is almost obsolete these days. Maybe we need another depression to bring him back. I remember how it actually physically hurt my father (b. 1914) to spend a dime on anything... On second thought, a 3/4 year recession ought to point us in the right direction. Good thought and nifty personalization, David!

Welcome back. Your talent has not diminished. I don't know who this guy is, but he will be observed. I hope to hear more poems. Good health to you.

Thanks Hilda, it's been awhile. One of those summers where summer won over writing. Maybe we're Thrifty, so I vote for the people.
