Haiku for Dear Leader’s Cadres

Billions come bursting
From huge hydrants of money
I’m stimulated

Credit freeze thaws now
Fed heats pipes until they steam
Winter is lovely

Consumers feel fine
Ready to mortgage their souls
John Maynard Keynes smiles

Saving’s so passé
Capital may be assumed
Let K be the stock

Giant debt you bet
Chinese will serve fine dinner
Children cannot vote

Like rose in springtime
Welfare state blossoms anew
Laughter heard in hell

  1. Ah, Master Higgs, you have succeeded so well in writing many haiku for the followers of The One. I am humbled. Please allow me to place before you a silly and worthless limerick of mine:

    For president Barack Obama
    Many make such a clama
    ‘Cause he gives away trillions
    To satisfy millions
    And winds up flat on his a** with nothing to show for it but more debt and bankruptcies.

    Note, please, the modified structure due to my great inadequacies as a poet. As your most humble servant, please accept my apologies.

  2. Money supply soars
    Money multiplier sinks
    Ben walks a tightrope

  3. Billions and billions
    Taxation as fascism
    Pelosi gets rich
