That's my haiku for what seems to be the dominant financial story in America at the moment.
But my poem may not be technical enough for an economist.
The Economist is posting a contest by the Kauffman Foundation, which has asked top economic bloggers to describe their outlook through haiku (5-7-5 syllables).
The entries run the gamut from poetic, like this one from Arthur Diamond:
jobs and Jobs are gone
need more Jobs to get more jobs
innovate to grow
Ryan Avent's haiku is more political:
Double dip at bay
Despite moronic Congress
Europe sinks us all
I don't even know what Eli Dourado is talking about in this technical haiku:
Revenge of the Nerds
ZMP can't outcompete
Very small shell scripts
Finally, some are pretty funny. Here's Felix Salmon's:
No one has a job
Except econobloggers
And they're not paid much
You can vote for your favorite here.
Mine may be the one written by Glen Whitman:
Economy sucks?
New policies shake things up!
Causing more suckage
