The Lay of the Lost Value

Contributed by norm on Wednesday, 9th July 2003 @ 09:35:00 PM in AEST
Topic: HumorPoetry



A pound's a pound the world around
that's in some minstral's lay.

You'd think a pound of anything
Would able bid E-Bay.
I own ten million shares of stock
ENRON is what they say.

I weighed the shares upon a scale
to see what they did weigh,
They weighed a pound and worth around
"Gazoo", the brokers bray.

Now, if a pound is worth a pound
Shares aught some value pay.
All the long-eared jackels neighed,
"Nay, nay, nay nay, nay, nay."

So, get me knife or get me gun,
I blew my dough, today,
When Shirley finds out they skinned my rinds
There ain't no way to stay.

you always have such a wide arrary of things to write about Norm I love it.Something else I love so much about you is your always upbeat in life. As for myself Iv been a dead beat lately so I always look forward to reading. As far as stock tips I dont have a clue but I do live in a casino city and I try to stay away from those ringing machines such a pity lol

I have taken my rollacoaster rides in the stockmarkets
more like the insiders skim the milk of the outsiders
when the fruits are ripe and the crowds rush in to buy
the big boys pull out the rug from my, my, my!!!
If you still wanna find out why, don't be shy
the blue chips are about to stage an all time high
and gold is the commodity for which most people die
don't stay on the sidelines, dive in & buy..buy...buy.

Always a delight to sail up your verse coast Norm.
