Ten-year Treasury Yield flat at 2.16%
With cycles of Greenspan inflation
And ludicrous bubble creation
The Fed and its fools
Required new tools
The tool they employed: Bloviation
The Fed's doing harm with its rate
It doesn't require debate
Bubbles they're blowing
Keep growing and growing
Their singular tool: To Inflate!
