My Shares

I have invest ten pennies worth of shares to keep me afloat for the rest of the year, the stock market is tumbling down and I own three quarter of this breath taking town and I need a miracle to turn the whole thing around, hands on head pen on blank sheet my pockets are deep and I am losing my night’s sleep

Come and crunch these numbers with me, because I have ten million mouths to feed, arrange a board meeting with the CEO
And brief him about the recent happenings and the need to inject new money in, before you start singing the federal government’s hymn, open the entire door and strengthen all the projects that emerged from the floor before they come asking for more.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
Morning is blazing through the street and the early birds are
Running up and down in the road, today is the day that I have to get it right lest I have pay a double sacrifice.

 Give me a cup of tea to drink and a bar of chocolate to munch on; sit exactly in front of me we are going to make history;
 Keep breaking down these figures until we get the whole thing right, even if we have to sit up all night.
We cannot cut t budget anymore or we will fall beneath the floor; we have got to open another gate to have more food on the plate. If your heart is as big as your will you can put more cash into till.

You have got to increase the cash flow before you construct
another row, you cannot mix sugar and spice so meet me at midnight and we will roll the dice; I know the numbers well and one toss will break the machine and you can have your million dollar dreams.

 This company must stand and you will apply for a sustainable operational grant to keep the doors open while your investments grow in the new branch.

The operational cost is large and we have several offices abroad with mouths to feed and missions to complete

The competition is large but the future is bright, we brought in the most revenue last quarter and we will do it all over; the quality of the work is great but the people are working too late

Just one more day, and the launch will be on its way, come and buy some shares and celebrate success with me at the end of the year.  

Come and buy your shares and you can travel anywhere.
