Guest Poet: Making Friends With North Korea

And now another gem from TMV’s favorite artist of verse, Michael Silverstein, aka Wall Street Poet:

Should we outsource the printing of U.S. hundred dollar bills to North Korea? Heck, why not. They already make almost as many as our own Treasury, the quality of their product is excellent, it would bring them into the world economy in a big way, and think of the printing cost savings for American taxpayers!

Making Friends With North Korea

If we want a first rate job done
When it comes to C-note printing
Give the job to North Korea
On this work there’ll be no stinting.

They’re already in production
With presses running overtime
In the realm of counterfeiting
Here’s a country in its prime.

Yes, this idea is a new one
And may leave some in confusion
‘Bout a currency transaction
With its odd two-nation fusion.

But in truth the goal is simple
Turn relations far more sunny
Share the one thing we’ve in common
A shared love for Old Sam’s money.

To North Korea we’ve long said
Your phony bills we’re gonna purge
Why not now try a softer line
A smile, a hug, a moola merge.
