Financial poetry, Covering money. Usually rhymes, And on the dime.

I like writing about money,

The elusive Greenback:

Sweet like golden honey,

Of ever constant lack.

Now ask yourself:

“Do I own money,

Or does it own me?”

Private equity,

Mid-market zombies.

LPs asking GPs,

“Where’s our money?”

Loonie Carney

Mr. Mark Carney,

Look at the loonie.

Isn’t it a doozy,

Making Yankee money?

A swirling vortex of Canadian 100-dollar bills forming a tunnel.
A man in a blue suit and tie is speaking at a podium with a microphone, raising his right hand with fingers spread, against a clear blue sky.

Panama Banal

The Panama Canal,

Isn’t it banal:

The Yankees built it,

And the Chinese eye it.

An aerial view of a canal with a large cargo ship passing through locks, surrounded by roads, parking lots, and green areas.

Madam Liz Truss

Madam Liz Truss,

Markets don’t trust.

They dump her gilts,

And spike her yields.

A stylized Union Jack flag design with red, white, and blue colors and geometric shapes.
A woman with blonde hair and hoop earrings has her eyes closed, standing against a dark background with a partially visible staircase.
