Lowered Expectations

 .

Article link: The McJobs report

 .

I’d like to thank the President

For help in steering clear

Of those who are the one percent

And have a good career.

 .

His economic policies

Have led to my release

From economic liberty

I knew with Credit Suisse.

 .

I rode the rollercoaster down

With unemployment checks,

Until I joined the salaried staff

That ran the megaplex.

 .

But even that was not immune

From his economy,

Which powers almost all its growth

Through fiscal policy.

 .

So now I search the classifieds

And air my discontent

With vagabonds from #Occupy

Who curse the one percent.

My goal is to produce poetical cartoons. I try to use metaphors and caricatures (or a politician’s own words) to address complex political and social situations. In this way, I sum up current events in humorous verse.
