    Noisy Noise
    by Berton Braley

    Bang! goes a billion!
    Doggone quick,
    Up--like a rocket.
    Down--like the stick!
    Double up taxes!
    (Gotta have the "mon")
    Bang! goes a billion!
    Shoot another one!

    Boondogglers doggle,
    Plans go bust,
    Bang goes a billion
    Blown to dust!

    Projects vanish
    In noise and smoke,
    But--bang go the billions!
    Till we go broke!

    Debts go haywire
    And thrift goes hang.
    Bang go the billions!
    Bang! Bang! BANG!
