Oh singing bird,
please let me sleep,
anymore I would leap,
to throw you some turd.
Dear Securities Commission,
your study guide sucks,
full of typos and omissions,
it’s worth only some muck.

p/s — Oh, Dr. Goose rounds up the econosphere’s Twitterverse:
Who says there’s no romance in monetary stimulus? Those outside of the Twitter econosphere may not know that the network was recently swept by a wave of #FedValentines, as the trend was hashtagged. It began with Penn economist Justin Wolfers, who tweeted: “Like fiat money, our love is built on trust.” White House economic adviser Austan Goolsbee chimed in: “Roses are red, violets are pink, don’t listen to gold bugs — no one cares what they think.” My personal favorite belonged to the FT’s Alan Beattie: “I’d like to borrow you overnight and then hold you to maturity.” Not to be outdone, Dr. Goose contributed: “If you’re not ready for a liquidity injection, I’ll understand.”
That is my former econometrics professor at Michigan, the famed Daniel Hamermesh! And he was on the Daily Show!
It does describe the Malaysian situation.
