A verse on supply and demand
In the age of the Visible Hand
These old former laws
Are loaded with flaws
When all of our prices are planned
We're nearing the end of our crimes
And nearing the end of my rhymes
A story long told
When evil takes hold
We're nearing the end of our times
- The Limerick King
