I looked out and saw rainy weather.
Why not watch boys kick pigskin leather?
What if rain was barley juice, not water -
to the magnavox and my alma mater.
A strange woman says "fix the door".
Where have I heard that voice before?
A green field where blue and gold bodies lay,
the uniforms of UCLA,
like a photo by Mathew Brady -
Do I know that voice? Who is this lady?
And who is responsible for this ruin?
He goes by the name of Joe Bruin.

Cockle Shell and Debacle
Never shells out except those that are cockle
Each day with Trump did become a debacle;
He never have up or does repent or relent
With mind meant to be totally ignorant
And not only is a shame but also an awful.
Jim Horn
DEBACLE
I am digging out of my debacle
Do you still look for the ancient bottle
I am offering you my best goggle
Let's overcome all of the greatest obstacle

The coversation
it gets heated
Full of speculation
Which is not needed
We are walking up and down
this colossal store
I hope you'll come around
before we find the front door
But our arguing, this fight
Takes us out into the night
Where we go at it like cubs
claiming the other doesn't have the right
You begin your long speech
And I listen
We sit down at the beach
But from your seat you have risen
Still going on and on
But then you finish a paragraph
And I realize for you i long
Then we both begin to laugh
It's true this debacle
Has brought us closer together
next time we won't let an obstacle
put us under the weather

Oh, how the market is a dropping
It’s dropping oh so low
The DOW is in the toilet
How low is it to go?
The shareholders, investors
They’re selling all they own
Sending all the prices
Truly down below
The rumors are a spreading
Not all of them are true
But the market’s still a dropping
What are we now to do?
I’m watching all the prices
Not watching just for me
But all of my coworkers
Here at Morgan Stanley
OMG!!!
