Oh, what a lovely little poem
Don't know what the moral for economics is
But it certainly described
What economics is.
Black Mumbo stayed in the house
Sewing beautiful clothes for her darling.
While Black Jumbo went to the bazaar/market
Bought lovely things and added to the nation's 'wealth'.
Then he went to 'work'
When Black Sambo had his scary adventure
And brought back ghee for his family
And guess what?
There was Black Mumbo
Ready to make delicious pancakes
All two hundred and fifty-one of them
And the clever woman was enjoying 'leisure' all the while!
Cheer :-)
