Moving the Inflation Goalpost

The economists rested in Heaven,

For the economy began to leaven, 

"Inflation at year end, 

Six percent," we contend, 

Did they mean December 2011.

The Onionee

At ninety rupees onions are dear, 
Rupee's worthless, Reserve Bank fears 
"The onion you see 
Is the new currency,"  
Says the Bank's Governor in tears.
