Welcome to The Economist

I had to laugh out loud

when opening The Economist's web page

a pop-up window came up

claiming "Welcome to independent thinking..."

I had thought for decades

The Economist was dry

magazine without a sense of humour,

and then they come up with a joke like that!

Independent thinking!

I still smile while writing this;

where no thought swims free

the absurdity is at least acknowledged.
