How Now Dow
Stocks are up – then down
My head begins to pound
Eyes are hot and blurry
My mouth all dry and furry.
Dr. Greenspan, help me please!
I think I have Mad Dow Disease.

I wrote this piece some time back and it was first published in the Saturday Evening Post. As much as things change...a volatile Dow has become a way of life.

Love it!!
Saturday eve. Post!!??
I had no idea you used to write for that magazine.
Great poem very appropriate for today as well ( unfortunately!)
"Mad Dow Diease" - oh I love it! :D
Cleverer than ever! Thank you for share(ing) it.
girl that is sooo damn clever ... i am jealous!!!!!!
So witty and wonderful! Too bad the reality of the situation is less-than-wonderful.
Peace,
JP/deb
Very clever! Thanks of sharing this poem!
I only wish our current crisis was funny. I do appreciate the humor though. Maude knows I'm ready to scream.
I love the idea behind this. It's whatever you want it to be: deep, amusing, prophetic, moving, clever... Great!
Loved the humour in that. And we certainly need some cheer at the moment.
Mad Dow... good one!! :)
Birthday Invite
Timely and wonderful. Gave me a smile this morning!

mad dow disease :D . . Rofl . Awesome post
Mad Dow Disease --- he-he, very, very, clever!
Mad Dow Disease. Very funny, but yet sadly true. I really liked this piece.
you're a wise woman
How funny, this poem! And bonus! Just like shoes you put in your closet for awhile, just wait, they’ll be back in style!
ohh it is still very much appropriate isn't it?!
very nice :)
