Goldilocks Poem by Sandra Martyres
Goldilocks
Goldilocks, of fairy tale fame
is now no longer
only associated
with having strayed
into the neat home
of the three bears.
Our versatile banker friends
those over-imaginative
investment geniuses,
always on the prowl,
to uncover a new theory,
have coined a fresh one
“The Goldilocks Economy”.
It has nothing to do
with either her golden locks
or with the three bears.
Surprisingly, it refers
to the near perfect
temperature of
baby bear’s porridge.
Not too hot and not too cold
Our luminaries have hit
upon a new inflation measure
A Goldilocks Economy
is a benign one
where inflation
moves in a narrow band
Of two and three fourths percent,
Dodging fears of deflation
and ofcourse hyper-inflation too
Put simply - It is as ideal
as the temperature
Of the porridge! !
Well written Sandra...very clever, a comparison between a Nursery tale and the banking world of today.....10++ Sue

interesting and informative too sandra...i think you are the only one who can write such a poem in this site...you have cleverly combined a fairy tale to anew promotion word coined by the bankers..i almost forgot that story...the inflation index we have does not consider many of materials we consider essential today..promotion of business makes the bankers coin such stories...thanks sandra...a unique piece i take it into my favs
