Doggerel democracy: Vote for your favorite Econ Haiku -- write-ins welcome
Posted by Jon Talton
The folks at Goldman Sachs shouldn't have all the fun. In lieu of huge bonuses, you get a chance to vote in this week's Econ Haiku contest. Of course you can do better: Write your own in the comments section.
The contenders:
Monday:
A Web-based Office
To compete or copy cat?
Did I say it's free?
Tuesday:
Watchers of The Street
Find there's gold in Goldman's sacks
Any left for us?
Wednesday:
Hole-y airliner.
Remember Southwest was fined
For maintenance gaps
Thursday:
I hate that Starbucks!
Give me my neighborhood shop.
Ooops, it's Starbucks, too.
Friday:
Big banks left standing
Brought in big dough, all the while
Needing taxpayers
