The twenties roared, the money flowed,
Everyone thought the wealth would grow.
Stocks on credit, a risky game,
When it all collapsed, who’s to blame?
The market crashed, the banks all failed,
Dreams got lost, and hope derailed.
Too much made, but none could buy,
That’s how the good times said goodbye.
Factories full, but shelves stayed stocked,
Workers gone, the doors were locked.
Farmers faced the dust and pain,
Trying to start their lives again.
The market crashed, the banks all failed,
Dreams got lost, and hope derailed.
Too much made, but none could buy,
That’s how the good times said goodbye.
Now we spend with cards, not cash,
Chasing trends and stocks that flash.
Debt keeps climbing, risks run deep,
Will we wake before we leap?
Save your money, don’t overspend,
Help your neighbor, don’t pretend.
Learn from the past, stay strong, stay wise,
Keep both feet on solid ties.
The market crashed, the banks all failed,
Dreams got lost, but truth prevailed.
If we plan and think ahead,
We’ll rise again — no tears to shed.
We love you Jay Aye Aye Gerkin
