A financial limerick from Dr. Goose
This week we asked listeners to send us their haiku about the economy, and you responded in droves. We also got one limerick by a listener calling himself “Dr. Goose.”
The New American Dream
The Smiths of 212 Willow Lane
Thought their mortgage a terrible strain.
They defaulted and then,
moved next door to 210
Where they rent and are solvent a-gain.
We talk to listener David Lefkovits about how he started writing limericks for his blog, Limericks Economiques.
