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!

Sarah L. H. Palin will you please go now!

Sarah L. H. Palin will you please go now!
The time has come.
The time has come.
The time is now.
Just go. Go. Go! I don't care where.
You can go by moose. You can go by bear.
Sarah L. H. Palin, you could fly through O'Hare!
You can go on a snowmobile. You can go on skis.
You can wear your lipstick. But please go. Please!
I don't care. You can go by bike.
You can go
on a giant elephant
if you like.
If you like you can go in an old red shoe.
Just go, go, GO! Please do, do, DO!
Sarah L. H. Palin
I don't care how.
Sarah L. H. Palin will you please 
GO NOW!
You can go by Prius. You can go with Phish.
You can fly across a Bridge to Nowhere, if you wish.
You are scaring all the states that are blues.
Every time you're on CBS Evening News.
Sarah L. H. Palin don't you know
The time has come
to go, go, GO!
Get on your way, please, Sarah P.!
You very much annoy the freakin' heck out of me.
You can take the Straight Talk Express.
Please leave this awful election year mess,
To be just only an historical footnote,
Rather than a Democratic get-out-the-vote!
I don't care how you go. Just git!
Sarah L. H. Palin! I don't care how.
Sarah L. H. Palin
will you please GO NOW!
I said
GO
and go I meant . . .
The time had come
 so . . . so Sarah went?

Sorry posting has been light the past, um, month... Between a very healthy course load and drinking wine with a straw, Alden's been a touch busy.  We'll try and ramp it up again here at Whiskey Tango Farley...
