John Deere to Take Measure of Farm Slump. (from the Wall Street Journal)

The global commodity slump
is putting John Deere on its rump.
Combines and tractors
among other factors
are useless as old Donald Trump. 

Editor's Note: This limerick appeared in the comments section of the Wall Street Journal, and you'd think it was thin enough stuff not to elicit any response. But it did. A certain Harry Brown felt impelled to reply thus:  "Scary thing is you are permitted to vote.. Deere produces big HP tractors due to the fact that feeding folks is big business.. Farmers killed cattle and curtailed breeding 3 yrs ago and now beef prices are off the chart.. many are correct that the govt ethanol IV is about to end.. however, if farmers are smart they will curtail ALL food production.. They are flush with cash and can sustain themselves with ease... They need to make the world a little hungry... good for them..."
