Todd's Job's in Arbitrage

     Todd’s latest job’s in arbitrage
        He said it’s the hottest thing going

     I asked Todd, if that is the case
        why isn’t the field
     exponentially growing

     Todd wasn’t quite sure
        said the truth didn’t matter
     as long as the word you could utter
     
     I asked him if he knew that arbitrage
        rhymes with garage and garbage ~

     Todd's brand-new job is cleaning out gutters

I used to be a vertical transportation engineer (elevator operator) Now, engaged in arbitrage, business is picking up! Enjoyed your wry lol's. Robert

so clever and witty, Gershon! You must dream this stuff while you sleep, right?

You clever layered man, you laid some wit on us when you posted this! Oh, to watch all the imagination constantly moving in your head - does it stop when you sleep? I've been absent since the last week of June, I think, which is ok, I get to feel how great it is to always come back. Love ya ... CayCay

You're right again, CayCay. I am definitely a 'layered man.' One layer of stomach. Two layers of chin. Three layers of rear ends... I think I had better quit while I'm behind...
