Have you ever met a yodelling, stuttering economist with a sense of humor? Me neither.

T-Tethered Again T-tethered again All my dreams have departed Cut off from the world Right back where I started T-trapped in a cocoon Oh what can I do I’m off of my stride And way out of t-tune. Yoda lida loda lady Lida loda lady Lida loda lady dee. But it’s nice to be back In this brand new hot s-saddle Gotta learn how to rope On my cayuse a-straddle-- But I l-look like a dope I can’t lasso a lassie I’m f-flat outta hope With a worn out old ch-chasis singin’... Yoda lida loda lady Yoda lida lady dee. Now gather 'round all you ingrates better learn how to wait Don’t ever go ridin’ With a bow-legged mate You’ll get h-hog tied like me And t-then it’s too late! Yoda lida loda lady Lida loda lady Yoda lida lady dee.

Cleverly concocted... ...funny yes, but also hinting at a much deeper meaning. Love and peace to you, Edward,

A delightful romp through one of those corners of your mind we don't see often. Kind of like a conscience-laden voter finding his vacation dreams back when there wasn't so much contemporary craziness around... just homespun "that's the way it is" acceptance of a slower lane of traffic.

I sensed much more than a little sense of humor and this one. It's good to have other talents when stuttering creeps in presentation. Especially when that presentation is so descriptive as stuttering. ;-)

Yodeling is a dying art. If you can master yodeling, you can conquer almost anything when it comes t communicating what you want.

Is this your particular response to "City Slickers?"

Very clever construct. My sense of humor was stirred.
