Better Sleep On It
Poor Mister Tuffet
Gasps while stocks plummet,
Collecting his shell-shocked wits!
His hair stands on end
As the market descends
It is scaring Mr. Tuffet to bits!
He tucks into his mattress
His wealth and his assets
Now he sleeps with his ass on his funds!
(He is trying to "tuffet" out!!)
