When all else fails
The Economists look to
The alphabets for inspiration
Will the economic recovery be V shaped?

I cant stop chuckling. A biting satire which hits hard at the cluelessness of the analysts!
Excellent satire, dear Sandra. 10 for your wit and wisdom. Love, Sandra
This is another outstanding and very well expressed poem, Sandra, and right up your alley with your illustrious economic backround. Your fne poem was a pleasure to read. Carl.
Wow Sandra, Wonderful piece, nice to see the ‘economical’ twist to your poetic ability. Though I am only a scientist, and know a little bit of the management of finances, this is more as Greek and Latin to me, but certainly you seem to have brought out that satire and that addition to the 26 alphabets is another example of your ‘very clever’ mind. Lol! ! ! ! ! ! Certainly –10 anjali
mine is i shape, it would keep climbing and then jump, to reach the top.
Wow Sandra! How I missed this poem! You excel in dealing this kind of subject. You are a real genius. Are u an economist? But surely not necessary to write this kind of a great piece which is meaningful, humourous and very very appropriate.
a very enjoyable read sandra ma'm....great observation...10
a masterpiece, Sandra. great title, tongue in cheek. how ridiculous these analysts sound, in the same breath they talk about all the four alphabets. humour, wit, satire, keen observation- i laughed out loud and am even a bit wiser.10 Mamta
Sandra I've always said that you're one of the finest poetess's....and when you create pieces such as this one.....it shows why...you're regarded as one of the most talented writers here at PH...and further a field......loved the wit in this....I smiled all the way through....thanks for sharing this with me....it's great
With alphabets 26 already there, the analysts have enough scope to create curves as they like...you know any movement will leave a locus behind...let them also thrive on such locci Sandra...intelligent observation...intelligent write...10
Very interesting. Maybe the way the economy goes will create some new letters not found in our alphabet. But we usually interpret things in a way we can express them. I would say that our ideas are relative and, as you point out, depend upon our attitude, situation, and beliefs. So is the economy the way we see it or the way it really is, in which case we are not really seeing it? Certainly it can't be the way everybody sees it, can it?
A cleverly written poem Sandra, economics seems to make sense to me now. Thank you for sharing. Love, Andrew
great humourus voice! fine wording! thoughtful too! 10+
Now who better could we have than you to write such a humorous and witty poem, than Sandra Martyres the Economist. You bring excellent sattire to us here on Poemhunter and the alphabetic is another example of your clever mind. Loved it! 10
thank god the economy is turning away from 'O' and moving towards greener pastures..great idea for a poem..
i only know mismanagement of finances...this is pure greek n latin!
i really do not know sandra...if it is a V or U or W or L...IT ONLY SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS CREATED OR ATLEAST THAT LOT MANY IN THE TOP ORDER KNOW ABOUT IT ALREADY....lovely poem
This is so funny Sandra! ...I hope they don't need to go through the whole alphabet before they find the solution! and it's no laughing matter but sometimes when faced with adversity, laughter becomes a necessity...
very good food for financial analysts
