The Times and Rhymes
All along the American towers
in these tariff-tangled hours
from the yawky-talky Big Apple Times,
All the News gets print in lines:
Out beneath the prairie stars
tariffs put the hurt on Tony’s used cars.
Tariffs inflate cost of parts a lot
out in Oklahoma used car lot
the hardest time in 25 years
of fixin’ engines and their gears
cuz Tony’s used-car dealership
is suffering trumpy tariff hardship
with inventory getting low
as tariffs rise and engines blow,
while MAGAs come and rule of Law doth go
driveling out the moxy Foxy show.
Now along comes the Times today:
with Timesly report on trumpy tariffs’ play
As the reporter lays out his Times’y drama:
update version of old Okie trauma
as parts break down and engines blow;
still cars must come while drivers go
cuz in the great wide Western prairie
wheels that roll do make life merry
Yeah, trucks and tractors must go
to seed and feed the American show.
As folks with credit bad and savings small
struggle to keep that car on the road at all
Meanwhile back in GOPpy wonder
tariffs cast auto/truck parts asunder.
“My life falls apart if I can’t drive!”
Trucks must roll so crops arrive.
“We’ll get you rolling as fast as we can”
said Tony to the Okie man.
It’s the great American story
of capital gains trumping glory
just for show
dont’cha know.
Expect “some pain” before tariff gains
trump had said to sooth the tariff pains.
Meanwhile back at the ranch:
there’s fallout from the maga tranche,
as tariffs reign and supply chains break
rich get rich with all they can take.
But a business with no margin for options,
now takes ole junkers as adoptions.
In an update version of old ’30’s tales,
Okie driver comes in Austin’s auto sales.
“My life falls apart if I can’t drive.”
It’s the American way, as we survive.
Now I don’t know but I been told
highways in Oklahoma littered with old
truck parts, y’all.
That’s the margin call
I guess.
What a mess!
Meanwhile back at the MAGA ranch
traders mount for another tranche
while reporters write in Big Apple Times
and little FOXes steal the vines.
Glass half-Full
