Oh, Ben Bernanke does not care,
Creating money out of air.
Why just last week he said, “Aw shucks,
I think I’ll print a trillion bucks.”
That’s trillion, sir, spelled with a T.
And speaking just twixt you and me
That is an awful lot of dough.
And I can say, “I told you so.”
The Chinese minister named Wen
Said, “oh-oh here we go again.
I’m nervous, and I start to fret
Cause U.S. will not pay its debt.”
And dollar index hits a peak,
Falls 5% in just one week.
Of happiness it was not full
If you became a dollar bull.
I told you so; I’m very brash.
I told you all that cash is trash.
I’m telling all, both young and old.
To call your broker; buy some gold.
Yes, buy your gold; it’s going up.
You’ll be as happy as a pup.
It’s not too late for I do know
It’s got a long, long way to go.

This poem by Mr. Katz is presented because we believe it artfully tells important truths of our economic state and future that are beyond our ability to express. -- LG Flower
