Humor For December
The Reader should note that “ice cycles” rhymes with “price nickels”
Business Cycles and Ice Cycles
What does an ice cycle
have to do with the “price of a nickel”?
Well, the price of a nickel can vary on the
foreign exchange
and an ice cycle will not tarry if the
temperature should change...
and become hotter by several degrees.
And the purchasing power of a nickel
depend upon various interest rates
which influences the amount per hour
that a nickel deflates...
which is not independent of events over seas.
But if a nickel is embedded in an ice cycle
in a state of being froze
then it may stay that way until the Bulls make
their play
or until the Bear Market Close.
Dollars and Dolls
Dollars are the focus of international finance
and Dolls are (where the smoke is) engaging in
dance.
But some Dolls want euros instead of dollar bills
and some molls may even follow Hugo’s through the
Venezuelian hills.
But there are some Dolls who are scholars who pay
taxes to Uncle Sam
on all the money they earn dancing...
when not studying for the Bar Exam.
The Twins of Twenty
Twenties are “twens of tens”
or should we say twins of tens?
Thirty comes only after you add another
ten to the pile.
And forty used to be the age of has beens
until plastic surgery came in style.
Fifty thousand is what a star of rap
probably makes for just one concert gig
but $60 Billion is the Market Cap
for a company that is quite big.
The Seventies featured the Bee Gees
and other musical delights
and in the Eighties there was Reagan
and his conservative insights.
While the Ninety Nights of Summer
are a gift to any one year
a master guitar strummer
is always delightful to hear.
