Timericks from stories by Nick Timiraos, Kate, Davidson, Jon Kamp, Joseph De Avila, Eun-Young Jeong, and Tom Fairless.

Mount Rushmore, from inside George Washington's left nostril.




Fed, Treasury Disagreements Slowed Start of Main Street Lending Program.
@NickTimiraos   @KateDavidson

To the rescue, Uncle Sam/has the speed of sleepy clam/When he's giving out the dough/he can seem a bit too slow/that's because his servants vie/for the biggest piece of pie/Next time Main Street help requires/they'd better pull some better wires.



The Suburbs Continue to Grow During Pandemic.
@jon_kamp  @jdeavila  

I never liked the suburbs/they always seemed to be/a haven for the dullard/a sink of iniquity/John Cheever wrote about 'em/and so did Updike, too/I'd rather have a condo/with fish market in view.



Why China Isn’t Expected to Power a Global Recovery
@TomFairless

I'll tell ya why ol' China can't revive our fiscal woes/She will not buy our chicken feet or make all our cheap clothes/She's had it up to here with Trump and all his mangy crew/She'd rather deal with India, Malaysia, or Peru!
