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.
Wow Sandra! How I missed this poem! You excel in dealing this kind of subject. You are a real genius. Are u an economist? But surely not necessary to write this kind of a great piece which is meaningful, humourous and very very appropriate.
a very enjoyable read sandra ma'm....great observation...10
a masterpiece, Sandra. great title, tongue in cheek. how ridiculous these analysts sound, in the same breath they talk about all the four alphabets. humour, wit, satire, keen observation- i laughed out loud and am even a bit wiser.10 Mamta
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
