Consume, Consume! (Apologies to Frost)

Updated: Jan 15, 2023


The watch that came (the Teuer Hag) is stunning with a Pravda bag and why not in a brand-new Jag?


Or, if you must, buy Coach and Ford so long as you will heed the word: the market is a two-edged sword.


When money idles in the bank the GDP will surely tank;-- you'll only have yourself to thank,


your I.R.A. not worth a damn-- a pyramid, a Madoff scam-- unless you spend for Uncle Sam!


So be the smartest in the room and stimulate a mini boom with pricey bling. Consume, consume!





And here's the original


Provide, Provide

Robert Frost

The witch that came (the withered hag) To wash the steps with pail and rag, Was once the beauty Abishag, The picture pride of Hollywood. Too many fall from great and good For you to doubt the likelihood. Die early and avoid the fate. Or if predestined to die late, Make up your mind to die in state. Make the whole stock exchange your own! If need be occupy a throne, Where nobody can call you crone. Some have relied on what they knew; Others on simply being true. What worked for them might work for you. No memory of having starred Atones for later disregard, Or keeps the end from being hard. Better to go down dignified With boughten friendship at your side Than none at all. Provide, provide!
