Another Economic Riddle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDEDDF GHIIHJKJJK ELMMLNONNO| I venerate economists | A |
| As very learned blokes | B |
| But when in paradox they speak | C |
| Their meaning oft I vainly seek | C |
| Suspecting subtle jokes | B |
| They say the whole world's down and out | D |
| But here's what I can't see | E |
| If every land beyond all doubt | D |
| In all the world is up the spout | D |
| Then who's the mortgagee | F |
| - | |
| Do we owe money in the moon | G |
| Or some celestial land | H |
| Or have we creditors in Mars | I |
| Or other fixed and unfixed stars | I |
| Who hold our notes of hand | H |
| If not why all the fuss and fret | J |
| I've conned it o'er and o'er | K |
| And find no clear solution yet | J |
| If all the earth is deep in debt | J |
| Who is the creditor | K |
| - | |
| When men go into bankruptcy | E |
| The case is plain as day | L |
| What is not in the dear wife's name | M |
| Grim creditors will promptly claim | M |
| And assets melt away | L |
| But when a whole wide world's in soak | N |
| And cannot raise the tin | O |
| Here's where I half suspect a joke | N |
| When all the earth goes stoney broke | N |
| Who puts the bailiffs in | O |
