Spoils of Green

.

Article link: President Obama’s Taxpayer-Backed Green Energy Failures

.

In Evergreen Solar

I asked the controller

To vest of the taxpayers’ dime.

The market then sputtered,

And quickly they shuttered:

We just couldn’t get there in time.

.

Solyndra was waiting,

And dangled a rating

Well worthy of rolling the dice.

Alas, they deflated

And crashed unabated,

With taxpayers paying the price.

.

Investments take mettle,

And often unsettle

The folks who like government lean.

But victors get spoils,

And nothing quite oils

The system like funding for Green.

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.
