 Printing the dollars.

A Robert Bly remix poem.

--

Let's count the dollars once again.

If only we could print the dollars faster,
Economic growth,
We could make all the lands green like Nebraska cornfields!

If only we could print the dollars faster,
Maybe we could get
Two more nations to fall within the year!

If only we could print the dollars faster,
We could have
Democracy sculpted, a statue, forever.

--

Heavily remixed from Robert Bly’s Counting Small-Boned Bodies.
