Steve, There is a song about our current economy - Nertz by Eddie Cantor - you can hear it on our website: www.carolinaphonosociety.com - on the main page click on the link to vintage recordings - it's great and very current.

The girlie passed him by; She winked her pretty eye. He saw the clocking on her stocking-- Glory my! he said, How shocking! Humpty Dumpty turned around and looked and looked and looked and looked And that's how Humpty Dumpty's goose was cooked.
