THE ECONOMY IS BAD.. OR, IS IT?

The economy is in a tailspin

Or, maybe it’s not so bad

This recession is really quite normal

Or, the worst we’ve ever had

I should buy stock while the price is so low

Or, sit on my mattress filled green

Plan right now to spend less in this new year

Or, order online like a queen!

I should take out a loan to buy a new house

But, no one will give me a loan

I shouldn’t fret ‘cause the gas price is down

But, it would be wise to stay home

Maybe I read too much in all of this

Or, perhaps I don’t read enough

Maybe I should trust all the pundits

Or, are they’re just calling my bluff?

Spend cash! It’s great for the economy!

Are there any lessons offered?

Go out for dinner to a fancy place

Stay home and micro some Stouffers

There are lots of boarded up factories

Coffee shops wherever you go

Where drones stand in line for over an hour

Paying big bucks for all that “joe”

Some say wait until we get a new Prez

Some say it doesn’t quite matter

Actually, I’m not sure what I should think

I’m leaning towards the latter
