The Market

Like a jump rope, up and down,
Thereby go the stocks.
Those who have invested
Should prepare to get some shocks.

Everyone’s remembering
The year 2008.
Will this time resemble that?
We’ll have to sit and wait.

Analysts fear each decline
Portends the next recession.
Then the market surges
And becomes our new obsession.

Down it tumbles, up it goes;
We need a jump rope chant.
Who can know the score today?
The “experts” surely can’t!
