WAIL OF THE QUEEN…

On N.B.C.’s TODAY,

The English Queen was assayed…

Getting lots of “pounds”

For royal grounds,

Folks wondered what she did for her pay?

The most Yank reporters command,

Is to see her wave her hand…

Part of the spoof

Is this is proof,

Economically….they should be banned.

Making fun of a reigning royal,

With sarcasm at a boil…

Makes one think

How low do we sink,

We Yanks just manage to soil!

The crew laughed aloud,

Like any disrespectful crowd…

Knocking ain’t good

With heads of solid wood,

And reason lost in the clouds!

HOLIDAY HAIKU

HOLIDAY HAIKU

Temperature jumps,

“Cold season” drips and sneezes…

Economic boosts!

Thanksgiving over,

Turkey soup with lots of fat…

Should have known better!

Black Friday turned week,

Jingle makers sing their songs…

Santa’s tandom sleigh!

Sun shines on our tree,

Ads run for all charities…

God’s Gift…is coming!

BUNNY ECONOMICS

BUNNY ECONOMICS

The Easter Bunny has it made,

For none of his eggs he laid…

With energy to spare

He flies through the air,

In time for his own parade.

Candy makers love this Bunny

For earning them lots of money…

Toothbrushes too

Find more work to do,

And wash cloths when the candy turns runny!

ECONOMY DUO

ECONOMY DUO

A “sixty-eight” set thermostat,

Limited income is at…

Start a wood fire

And people perspire

But the rest of the house freezes stat.

In the mountains, frozen pipes,

Summer home owners find real gripes…

Put antifreeze

In the lines please,

We need to secure these respites!

ATM REPRISE

ATM REPRISE

 

What’s with this need for reprise,

He has not written yet these…

Repairmen we’d say

Can scarce get away,

Before they come back on their knees.

I overheard a weak signal

Was the reason our box won’t jingle…

It won’t give cash

For employee’s bash,

It’s hard without money to mingle!

He’s been here nearly an hour

Trying to avoid contracts soured…

With any luck

He’ll get it unstuck,

So ATM business can flower!!!
