The Dollar is Shrinking














This verse is for Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve, begging them to do something that will stop the inflation we see running rampant everywhere we shop. The Fed keeps monetizing the debt, even though Ben swore under oath to Congress that he wouldn’t do it. I’m urging them to please stop printing money.


A Note to Ben Bernanke and the Fed

Ignoring fundamental fiscal principles
Can crush a nation once believed invincible
In plain old fashioned words that are unminceable
Monetizing debt is indefensible

Let me recommend an act more sensible
One that folks would find less reprehensible
Do the thing that’s fiscally commendable
Raise the rates so folks earn cash that’s spendable

Havahart®










Havahart®

A rat keeps eating the birdseed
And chasing the birds away
My wife is in a frenzy
So I bought a trap today

It’s me against the rodent
The battle’s about to start
I know I’ll be victorious
With my trusty Havahart®
