It’s the Stupid Economy (aka Donald Trump’s Easter Song 2020)
I’m really sorry granny, that you are turnin’ blue
I think about you often, good times we’ve had a few
You’ve always had such bonhomie
But now that the economy’s
Tankin’ due to Covid, please under that bus, we’re through!
I’m really sorry granny, but it simply cannot wait
Your stocks and shares are falling sharply, so we must liquidate
(Whether caused by flu or polio
Or Corona), your portfolio
Needs you off that balance sheet, so please get to those Pearly gates
I’m really sorry granny, for your loss adjustment’s must be made
Your net worth is fallin’ faster than your old body can degrade
Now, it’s not that I don’t love you
And though one could take the view
“In the long run, we’re all dead”, yet still priorities must be weighed
I’m really sorry granny, that now it’s time to say farewell
As a tear rolls down my cheek with such emotion can’t you tell
That though unbearable the sadness
I will remember you with gladness
As I send you off to heaven, while I make my way to hell
In fairness to Don I wrote this a couple of weeks ago when he was still promising to have this Corona thing wrapped up by Easter (though that was entirely unrealistic at the time). At least he’s busy shutting the stable door now (even if the horse is half-way to Mexico already).
