Alphabetic Inspiration Poem by Sandra Martyres
Alphabetic Inspiration
When all else fails
The Economists look to
The alphabets for inspiration
Will the economic recovery be V shaped?
Yes indeed, say the very optimistic
With the stimulus package
There is only one way
That world economy can go and it is up
Not really, say the less convinced
It will probably be U shaped
The down-turn will stay for sometime
Before it slowly climbs up once more
Then come the zigzag theorists
The shape is more likely to be a W they cry
The economy having gone down
Will first go up and then down again
Before moving up with more confidence
Last but not least, are the die-hard pessimists
They believe that the mother of all depressions
Will not end in a hurry and have forecast an L shape
Meaning that, having gone down
The economy will stabilise at the current bottom
Given that the theories have so far
Centred around only four
Of the twenty-six alphabets
There is still plenty of scope for further
Alphabetic inspiration.
A cleverly written poem Sandra, economics seems to make sense to me now. Thank you for sharing. Love, Andrew
Very interesting. Maybe the way the economy goes will create some new letters not found in our alphabet. But we usually interpret things in a way we can express them. I would say that our ideas are relative and, as you point out, depend upon our attitude, situation, and beliefs. So is the economy the way we see it or the way it really is, in which case we are not really seeing it? Certainly it can't be the way everybody sees it, can it?
With alphabets 26 already there, the analysts have enough scope to create curves as they like...you know any movement will leave a locus behind...let them also thrive on such locci Sandra...intelligent observation...intelligent write...10
Sandra I've always said that you're one of the finest poetess's....and when you create pieces such as this one.....it shows why...you're regarded as one of the most talented writers here at PH...and further a field......loved the wit in this....I smiled all the way through....thanks for sharing this with me....it's great
I cant stop chuckling. A biting satire which hits hard at the cluelessness of the analysts!
Excellent satire, dear Sandra. 10 for your wit and wisdom. Love, Sandra
This is another outstanding and very well expressed poem, Sandra, and right up your alley with your illustrious economic backround. Your fne poem was a pleasure to read. Carl.
Wow Sandra, Wonderful piece, nice to see the ‘economical’ twist to your poetic ability. Though I am only a scientist, and know a little bit of the management of finances, this is more as Greek and Latin to me, but certainly you seem to have brought out that satire and that addition to the 26 alphabets is another example of your ‘very clever’ mind. Lol! ! ! ! ! ! Certainly –10 anjali
