*"Nineteen trillion, nine hundred sixty three billion" says the duke of finance "Woa, that's a lot of dough" says the king "We need to cut back on our spending" Funny some court jesters Had gathered around To inspire the king's laugh Yet, he made not a sound Though they did bear witness to the majestic king signing a new decree "Only the bare necessities" And some of the people were well pleased, And some of the people Protested in the streets*
