Tick Stock Doomsday Clock

Time is money

                                    Tick

And money talks

                                    Tock

To better display 

                                    Doomsday

A graph of falling

                                    Stock

Wonderful Maureen!!! I love the visual of the page. The word usage has an almost nursery rhyme quality tock and talk and stock and display and Doomsday. Amazing piece as always. Complex simplicity. Sweet!!! Maureen.

Very truthful and well expressed in few words. Nothing like a good doomsday clock scare to make the stocks plummet. Doomsday clock...oh my aching...
