Hi Aussie our elders knew just how to survive in hard times. Thank God my Mother taught us how to cook from scratch, garden, can foods, and sew.Great subject to write about we are all having hard times. Good rhythm and flow used throughout. Like poppy always said pull up your boot-straps and join the fun.LOL Trena

I agree with you and like your thoughts very much. Whatever happens, we are not goint to die of hunger.
It is important not to panic and think properly, as you did here. Clever and meaningful.
Love

Comment from Itslisa
Just a great poem! Beautiful use of changing rhythm and rhyme to reflect the different perspectives--encouraging the reader to hurry through the ranting and worrying parts, then making him/her slow down to read the level-headed advice. Thank you for sharing!

Comment from Joyce L.
I read this poem a couple of times and although it has very good advice and I like the words, I found that it wasn't a real smooth read. Some of it rhymed and then there was some that didn't. I enjoyed the message very much but wondered if you realized this.

Of course I do jem; it is not easy to pull reality together sometimes. I would think it a cross between a story and a poem. It is getting rave reviews, so it must be a small glich so far. Thank you. Regards Aussie XX

Comment from Domino
Hi, Ausssie.
This is all good advice on how to tighten the purse strings, and very well written and presented.
From the little I know of economics, this policy has a flip side and won't help in the long run. Of course, people with little money need adopt your policies to survive. Trouble is when this seed of economic instability is instilled then even the rich or resonably well-off 'stop spending. Once THEY do that as well then there's a mushroom effect as the economy completely stagnates as maunfactured goods and services aren;'t purchased. This leads to further job looses and a general slow down, making the matter worse. I wish I knew the answer.
Best wishes, ray xx

Ray, there is no quick fix. We could all end up on our knees; greed before need has started this. Some will learn to do without, some will not. Australia relies on America and we are feeling the pinch already. Faith is my foundation. Love Aussie XX
