Have you been out shopping yet? Well, why not? America is depending on you! In honor of this guy, I bring you a little Black Friday doggerel:
Black Friday
We must fight impending doom
Heed the mandate - go consume!
Join the buying polyglot
In the Rosedale parking lot
Time to fight financial stress
Get out and buy that GPS
Hank Paulson's fought the stormy seas
Of manufactured urgency
The Big 3 come with cups in hand
As mendicants to Waxmanland
Detroit's adrift, or so it seems
With pension plans as Ponzi schemes
The bills are steep, the air is rank
With wealth transfers to Citibank
You try to run, nowhere to go
With your drained portfolio
Do you dance? Or do you cry?
With brokers falling from the sky?
The sun gleams through my windowpane
It always does despite the rain
Of finances sour and dispatches bleak
And tragedies that fill the week
How do you face it? Are you pissed?
I'd rather be an optimist
I'll be here all week. Try the veal.
