I cant stop chuckling. A biting satire which hits hard at the cluelessness of the analysts!

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

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 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

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?

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...
