E C O N O M I C

The letters that spell "economic"
Hide both INCOME and MICE
It would be "comic" if "no" women inside
Left just "men" with family responsibilities

A land where empty is enough
Remember the rule
Sell your car to buy fuel
To the first world this may seem rather tough

Heads ache from here to Tazmania.
It’s the economic condition –
Politicians lack contrition.
Tax-mania affects the crania.

Economic woes I dread
To feed my family I sold the toupe off my head
Went to the shop 
Where I fainted with shock
It costs two wheel barrows of money to buy a loaf of bread

Economic curve
Sliding down 
Mushroom-like umbrellas
Springing up
Somewhat blocking the street 
Drawing crowds
To buy the cheapest 
Goods and wares 
Without license or tax

Merco press combines economic and political
I fail to see how? it can be truly analytical.'
Its zone is grey at very best' any claim to 
Equal reporting must be put to the test.!

Premium Member Ludwig Knew, Clerihew

Free market economist, Ludwig Von Mises
Ably pinpointed economic diseases.
Yet, when we’re told the feds fixed the great depression,
Ludwig knew it was caused by fed intervention.

Whether upper or lower
Can’t buy forever—

A Downturn In Economic Indicators

The moon
is a bay leaf
folded among the trees.

It is not.

There is no time
to love one another, the days
smear like wet ink.

It is the time
of the wolf.

We must feed him.

Premium Member Unhandy Differences

What is the difference,
historical or cultural,
naturally experienced or spiritually souled,
between economic capitalism
and political patriarchalism?

What is the difference
between two hands clapping?

Like All the Earth's Weight

bearing down on its fiery mantle,

making diamonds harder, stronger:

The struggles of our own times

--- the Spiritual struggle, the economic one ---

summoning the power of the Spirit,

purifying the soul.

The Barbarian National Anthem

Take your freedom and life
Rule out justice and rights
Then we have barbarian ways
Of controlling the world

Our true role is to enslave you
In our economic dominance
To divide and conquer all
In propaganda and war

Premium Member Future Prediction For Home Buyers

Forget about mortgage or rent.
These days with our paychecks fast spent,
In the future I see 
The hot question will be. . . 
How much for one BIG sturdy tent?

Premium Member Consistent Congress

Contemptibly craven 
Oratory obfuscates
Never nuanced
Gerrymandering guile
Readily reacts to roaring rabble
Egregiously expects economic encouragement 
Smug, self-righteous and self- serving
Slippery sounding sound bites
