Poetic justice: Vote for your favorite Econ Haiku of the week
Posted by Jon Talton
It's been that kind of a week. The Dow's stuck. The Dreamliner's delayed. Gotta laugh. So join in where I put the "dog" in doggerel and vote for your favorite Econ Haiku. Or write your own in the comments section.
The contenders:
Monday:
A snapshot of change
Kodak will kill Kodachrome
Paul Simon still lives
Tuesday:
Another delay
Maybe Boeing would let us
Just sit in the plane
Wednesday:
Stimulus package
Arrives in container ship
Port cities can thrive
Thursday:
A wing and a prayer
Just make sure they attach well
When building your Dream
Friday:
Will you drink more green?
Starbucks is counting on it
What a daily grind
