This Is Cause For Celebration Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Aren't you happy to hear,
The unemployment rate...
Has gone down.

'Let's see...
People losing unemployment benefits.
Plus those who have given up seeking work.
And those companies who have taken their employees,
Overseas to pay no taxes here at all.
Who 'had' been unemployed and documented as such.

It's great to know that!
Less jobs are being found.
And the unemployment rate,
Is going down!
It is a miracle.
This is cause for celebration.'
