Whenever this old world is getting me down,
I watch YouTube interviews with the guys downtown:
The brokers, the movers and shakers deluxe,
Who daily create the world's next trillion bucks.
I tell ya, this therapy cannot be beat',
Self-help, meditation, and booze don't compete.
.
Yes, friends and Romans, lend them your ears,
Pay close attention as they calm your worst fears.
"The trend is your friend," "Elon Musk's on a tear,"
"Crypto's a climber," "There's stock rally to spare."
The deficit, Iran, Ukraine, Cuba's fate
Mean zilch to these guys; they talk trash 'bout the Strait!
.
They'll tell you climate change ain't nothin' but bosh,
Which like commies and Covid'll come out in the wash.
Steel orders are now up, milk futures look good,
Gas prices are high, yeah, but where's your manhood?
Oil pumpers are hustling and people drive less:
The Market'll solve the supply/demand mess!
.
Friends, heed these smart guys with their ears to the ground,
Links to Wash-town, insider tips by the pound!
There's a reason the Dow breaks records each day,
And it's now soared up past 51 K!
With SpaceX IPO, see any trouble ?
And everyone frets that we're in a new bubble!
.
Lost your optimism? The future looks black?
Turn to Wall Street gurus and get your life back.
I do it each morn' as I work on my abs,
And it really does wonders to push back the crabs,
Like Krugman, Bernie, sundry nabobs of fate.
Pay them no heed: it's just something they ate.
