Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Lord on Board

The Great Depression lived on luck
Of how F.D.R. threw the dice.
Experimenting with the buck,
Not really sure how high the price.
Spending on stuff to stimulate,
With money that did not exist.
Seemed to some such a nonsense fate.
But F.D.R. rolls did persist
Until at last - recovery.
F.D.R. the winner took all
Herb Hoover for eternity
Will be blamed for dropping the ball.

From the Great Depression it came -
Monopoly, the dice board game.
