Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a recession?
Thou art more predictable and less short
Dare you trust the advice so Keynesian,
And laissez-faire regulations abort?
More true than mortgage backed securities
In collat’rlized debt obligations.
You never trusted rating agencies;
Our love never suffers from stagflations.
So stay free from moral hazards today,
Our love will never create a bubble
Sub-prime arbitrage schemes, them keep away,
And we’ll do without fiscal stimulus trouble
So long as man can spend or dollars make,
In global trade, like our love, profits you’ll take!
