Fuss-Budget
S.O.S.
Limericked Throes on Economy’s Woes
.
The helm’s gone missing from our boat.
Our skipper can’t keep it afloat.
He sold our dream,
Shipped us downstream
And went to Washington to gloat.
.
The mutineers, now grumpy, wail.
The wealthy yachtsmen beg with pail.
“Help! Bail us out!
The leaks do spout!”
Has sanity so soon set sail?
