Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics

 

The new IIP* numbers were out, 

Wild data was bruited about, 

Economists are tense 

Figures don't make sense 

Who's compiled them? Statistical louts?

IIP: Index of Industrial Production

Bubblegumgate

It was Bubblegumgate last week, 

Pranab's office was bugged so he shrieked, 

Why is he surprised, 

When he should surmise 

Like a sieve all ministries leak.

Budget Blues

On Budget Day the status quo prevailed, 

Abject media applauded and hailed,

FM tossed a few crumbs, 

To the meek and the numb, 

While the looters rejoiced and drank ale.
