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?”

Jay, Pow!

Chairman Jay,

Gone with a Pow!

He wanted to stay,

Trump said, “Out now!”

Wars and Bonds

Rising yields,

In times of war;

Inflation shield,

Or capital shore?

PE Zombies

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

28th March 2025

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.
