Not Quite So Simple Simon

Simple Simon met a pieman going to the fair;
Said Simple Simon to the pieman “Let me taste your ware.”
Said the pieman to Simple Simon “Show me first your penny.”
Said Simple Simon to the pieman “Sir, I have not any!”

Said Paul Krugman to Simple Simon, “Why don’t you print you some?
When one is pressed in matters money, printing it beats having none.”
Said Simple Simon to Paul Krugman, the pieman near forgot,
“Why don’t you give me some of yours and stop talking fancy rot.”
