Ok, I've revised the posting.

Jonathan Morton came through with a poem. ;-).

Our apologies to John Godfrey Saxe.

There's still a bit of polish maybe possible. I'd like to get the idea of "there lies madness" into the stanza on economics.

Have a good chuckle!

Think about that stanza overnight.

Clearly, it's the "Six men of Interstan" ;-). I tweaked those words.

I'll have to sleep on that one. It's difficult to say precisely what you want within a fixed number of syllables, while also keeping to rhyme and metre.
