A r/wallstreetbets Anthem · Eight Years · Infinite Tendies · One Owl
"Good afternoon."
…BRRRRRRRRRRRR…
He walked in eighteen, took the throne with a frown
Owl-faced wizard in a navy-blue gown
Rates at zero and the tendies stayed brown
Held this dumpster-fire economy down
Gaslit a nation with a single damn word
"Transitory" — yeah, you heard what you heard
Printer hit BRRR till our savings got blurred
But we love him anyway — the regards' preferred bird
First-ballot Hall of Fame, carve it in stone
Zero-DTEs trembling at his microphone
Last adult in the room — but the kids comin' home
Brace yourselves, regards… Daddy's leavin' alone
WE! ARE! JEROME!
Diamond-handed grandpa, take us home!
One more pivot, one more pump, one more loan!
GOAT of the FOMC on his throne!
WE! ARE! JEROME!
Print it, Daddy — light the printer up and roam!
Carve a statue at the Reserve out of chrome!
Goodnight, sweet king — FUCK MY PUTS — we're alone!
Eight years deep in the casino he ran
Saved the apes from themselves with a thirteen-week plan
String quartet on the Titanic, man
But the band played on while the tendies spanned
Greenspan was a hero till he wasn't, take note
J-Pow's leavin' with the bull market's vote
Gold at all-time, IBB on the float
And the next dude in the chair? Y'all better get a boat
Successor incoming, the rumor mill talks
Fed independence on the auction block
The regards are loaded, the chamber's been cocked
TICK — TICK — TICK goes the doomsday clock
WE! ARE! JEROME!
Owl-eyed prophet of the bull-market dome!
Theta gang, gamma boys, all phone home!
Daddy Pow, Daddy Pow, on his throne!
WE! ARE! JEROME!
0DTE body count larger than Rome!
Carve a statue at the Reserve out of chrome!
Goodnight, sweet king — FUCK MY PUTS — we're alone!
Imagine one last troll — two-hundred basis points
Walk out the door with the middle finger out the joint
"Adios, MoFos" — hat tipped to the mess
That's the legendary exit, that's the one we'd love best
(But he won't…)
(He's too classy…)
(He's our king…)
Run it back, run it back, run it back, run it back…
ONE MORE TIME!
WE! ARE! JEROME!
Quirked up, swag-bustin', goated to the bone!
Last man standing 'fore the empire's overthrown!
Diamond hands forever — RIP economy — alone!
WE! ARE! JEROME!
Run for president, retire and roam!
Move to Wyoming, become a mod from your phone!
Goodnight, sweet king — FUCK OUR PUTS — we're home!
(soft) "Thanks, Mr. Jerome Powell."
(whispered, layered, fading)
"transitory… transitory… transitory…"
[BRRRRRRR fades to silence]
