Behold! The world's smartest businessman
weaves his trickle-down magic spell;
sending his country to Hell.
The poor become poorer,
give more to the rich.
Ain't it a bitch?
Dyvoury—
the new
norm.

Author Notes
I don't recall trying one of these (a nonet) before... first time for everything.
Even the rich will be suffering today. Some of them will have lost billions, poor things. I wonder if a certain someone will be as quick to claim responsibility for the collapse as they were for the growth?
Of course, the ones who will really suffer are the workers, with their mortgages, and their vanishing superannuation. As always.
Today's word:
dyvoury (n.) bankruptcy, financial ruin.
My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book.
Thanks for reading.
