Black Sunday

We marched a high plateau  Straight toward prosperity And then alas, something occurred Which got the best of me The web page was a blank This came as quite a shock The timing was just right  Suffering writer's block Nonetheless, annoying To have to face the screen And see it blinking blankly It almost was obscene Our communal crash was felt By poets far and wide Who had to fill their time With something else besides Laments and rhymes and odes To tell their heartfelt tale The thought of something else It makes my face grow pale This IS the great depression We're living it once more This web site is our Dow Jones The bears are out to score The margin calls are coming in I'm trying to raise some cash The panic unprecedented I'm moving way to fast The foreign banks are on the line Orders out to sell My poems are all I have to trade I hope they'll do me well.
