Stock market poetry

[MarleysGh0st]

Andrew Tobias offered this poem on his website yesterday, instead of his usual commentary. Besides being relevant to all of us losing money daily in the market, there's a line to make Annie pleased and some sentiments that could apply to the recent squabbles on the Bored:

Roses are red,
Violence, appalling.
With a rhyme such as this one,
I'm obviously stalling.


Peppers are green,
Great Mozart, enthralling.
Does poetry pay well?
Have I missed my calling?


Oceans are blue,
Investors are bawling.
Four oh one K's
Just keep falling and falling.


This, too, shall pass,
The storm and the squalling.
But don't hold your breath;
Prepare for more mauling.
