Keep Your Chin Up by Jane Celeste the Pest


The stock market’s in a slump
Gasoline prices made a jump
The Mississippi breached some levies.
GM can’t sell many Chevies.

Spring came late and was too cool
Couldn’t swim in a chilly pool
Rising food prices do alarm us
Bad tomatoes still might harm us

Iowa farm fields are under water
California just keeps getting hotter.
The Arctic ice is melting fast
Fly the airlines—feel harassed.

Believe the bad news—get depressed
Be optimists—hope for the best
Cheer yourself up--don't just mope
It's healthier to have some hope.
Politicians say they'll fix what troubles
The national deb? -it soars and doubles
If you trust them and are impressed
Remember New Orleans is still a mess
