Limericks

Dear Friends,

Buy high sell low,
That’s the way the markets go,
Ride the carousel,
Chase the closing bell,
And end up selling matches in the snow.

Today the world is run by globalism,
Driving populists and elitists to a schism,
Democracy’s a mess,
The harder they suppress,
The more it will lead to hyper-nationalism.

Defending the gutter is a noble pursuit,
Putting one’s reputation in bad repute,
A rack and pinion,
Satan’s minion,
And believing a lack of ethics is a silk suit.

Political violence as we all know,
Is evil and from it bad things flow,
Done by who,
Here’s a clue,
We need to always ask… cui bono?

Riding a roller-coaster is often ___,
A thrill for all and out in the ____,
The corrupt don’t _____,
Wind in your _____,
And afterward we ask ourselves who _____.

Sincerely,
John Pepin
