Bad For Business

** Apologies for anyone unfamiliar with the metaphors used, they're quite British *** Most people in life work for someone as all the statistics have shown but I thought I'd go out and start up by myself as an entrepreneur, go it alone. My radio shop called in the receivers, someone got in and all the stock stole, so I switched to creating a unique shampoo but that all went down the plug hole. I started a wallpaper business but that quickly went to the wall My pet grooming venture has gone to the dogs And my parachute school took a fall. My submarine business went under, my brake shoe shop, that hit the skids, the paper shop folded, boat builder ran aground but I wasn't surprised when it did. The detergent idea is all washed up, and my driving instructor school crashed, my water filtration is in liquidation and dustbin cleaning business got trashed. My hairdressers, that came a cropper, I thought that would do well the most, then my skills as a medium, nobody did need 'em, and that has now given up the ghost. My last chance is growing tobacco, as that should appeal to some folk, it does sound quite appealing, but I have a bad feeling that the whole thing will go up in smoke.
