Anybody up for a new challenge ? An image portraying the credit crunch ?

by davidjohn @ Thursday, Oct. 02, 2008 - 15:49:54

I was trying to write a poem on the credit crunch but am a useless poet when it occurred to me that an image telling the story would be quite tricky and make a good topic for a challenge. If anybody is interested let's give it two weeks and see if any exciting shots appear on the photoblog. Below is my attempt at a poem on the subject; please will somebody else try it.

Depression.

The credit crunch
Not a morsel you can munch
Financial markets pointing down
Serious matter to make you frown.

Both shares and pension
Cause enormous tension
If you've still got money
Spend it quickly on your honey.

If you rely on plastic
And your spending is fantastic
Think it over again and again
For your sanity to retain.

I can't write poetry either, so your effort is a darn sight better than I could have done :)

Well I'm no poet and la_spice is on holiday ! Glad you are trying to come up with something to meet the photo challenge and believe me I've no real ideas yet but am hopeful that something will happen to provide an image of the crunch. David.
