Recession 101

An economic recession
brings you back sharply

We had our own one
equal to a small nation

Our poor paying jobs
too typical for relief

Until our firstborn's
upkeep shot way up

Kicking me into
finding better work

My pay equaled about
what both had made

I recall bills paid by a
clever determined you

Hard recession lessons
learned for better lives


F William Broome 2009

We learned that lesson too when the oilfield went bust in the 80's because of the cheaper foreign oil.. but we lived through it and as you said learned to be clever with bill paying... Nice work here!

Hello Bill,

Experience speaks volumes in this poem, and thank you for the encouragement. It will pass and may we learn from it.
