A Poem: An Ode to Bernanke

This poem is so funny that I just have to reproduce in my blog:

An Ode to Bernanke

Ben Bernanke is our crazy Fed chairman, you see
He’s convinced that the U.S. has a full forest of money trees.

So he creates fancy dollar bills out of thin air,
Trying to save the economy from its destructive flair

The first thing he wants is to keep homeowners from defaulting
So he gives a multi-billion dollar bail out to the criminals who were assaulting.

But that wouldn’t be enough to save the economy from a bearish turn
So is it any wonder he had JP Morgan bail out Bear Stearns?

But the one thing he doesn’t realize is that his tricks won’t solve a thing.
He’s just trying to keep the economy together on just one string.

So as he prints money with no regard for inflation,
He’s convinced by doing this he’s going to save the nation.

One dollar, two dollars, ten dollars to buy a bottle of coke.
And as soon as you walk into a supermarket, the prices will make you want to choke.

So what will Ben do when he finds his plan didn’t work?
Will he be forever regarded as an economic jerk?

Will the annals of history reflect on him well?
Not in my mind – and that’s the history I’ll tell.

Whether or not you agree with the 'poet' who composes this is entirely subjective:p.
