What I Learned in 2011

In 2011 I learned
That attention is artfully earned
By enhancing the text
With verses well-sexed,
Where economists' blogs are concerned.

As 2011 draws to a close, I would like to thank all the supporters of Limericks Économiques; those who read the blog, all you e-mail subscribers, Facebook fans and Twitter friends and followers. In particular, I would like to thank Professor Greg Mankiw, whose clarity in writing economic textbooks cannot be matched, though it can evidently be sexed up a little. Prof. Mankiw's Ten Principles of Economics inspired Dr. Goose's most widely read rhymes this year - The Ten Limerick Principles of Economics. To all those who inspired and encouraged these limericking efforts this year - thank you.

Happy New Year to one and all!
