HIGH FINANCE


there are some humans
who are much like cats and dogs
simple minds abound
people will pay big money
and just to have them around...

A man who cares about tomorrow
Is certain the day will bring sorrow 
So Trump's Golden Rule
Is, "Find any fool
And live well on all you can borrow!"...

Arm the world
To arm our selves
To fulfill our lust
For blood that sells
To protect ourselves
And kill with shells
To arm the world
Finance new hell...

A sly violinist named Max
In ethical finance was lax.
He pulled all the strings
To gloss over things
And fiddled his end of year tax!

Who are these? 
Pinstripe assassins, 
That stride; self satisfied, 
The world is theirs, 
To do as they wish. 
Sipping coffee, 
From little white cups 
Guardians of the system. 
Soldiers of capital, 
Unreal....

Like many, Joan struggled, was poor

To feed her sweet fam’ly of four

All their vegan food came from

Sixteen-inch terrarium

The secret’s eat less, never more

How you get there matters
Know you 
Know your man
Know your energy source is from God
Know
Know you hold key on marriage
Know 
Know you hold key to finance
Know
Know all things
How one knows all?
How one knows depends on one’s incentives

A Tory implosion
Government erosion

Fifty per cent 
 of Harvard grads 
  opt for finance or consulting

The percentage who go into teaching?
 That figure's downright discomfiting
  ~ disgraceful, insulting.

The best and brightest manipulate money
  ~ Future generations won't find that so funny...

I knew an old friend Sal McNally 
Her tax forms she struggled to tally
The controller was rude
With a crude attitude
He sent her to row on a galley.

I gaze into my sons' lives
  and see myself
One's a fitness trainer
  So was I at his stage
One's a finance man
  Ditto for me at 24
One's a soldier
  Now that's what I
  secretly yearned to be
My youngest son 
  is the 'real me' ~
  tho' he's no forever
    wannabe...

My tight budget for last year went haywire
Huge arrear tax due I needed to clear
Plugged holes of extravagance
For planned control of finance
Took utmost care, no sleepless nights this year.

It somehow seemed safe to depend on
The stock my life savings I’d spent on
  Till a scandalous crash
  Left me broke in a flash—
I wish I’d bought Apple, not Enron.

The Holiday Season has come and gone.

   Bank balance for that spree is overdrawn.

      Now I'm feeling mighty glum.

         Since Sam wants a hefty sum,

            The house and my dog I may have to pawn!

An incidental opportunity for romance
Arose one night in Paris, France
It happened across the room with a glance
That turned into a trance
He walked over and asked her if she’d like to dance
A long term relationship developed from chance
Regretting his adulterous experience that taxed his finance....

Who needs fiction when truth is so sweet?
The COO's woes from Beyond Meat:
enraged, he bit another’s nose,
an incident that clearly shows
a vegan diet is incomplete!

Just when the quick peruse
Turns obtuse
Thereby roundly refused
That noose for an excuse

We made the day quake with paper
Gracious allowance
By overwriting the undercurrent
Betting down for stamps in the sky

The commander brands his mule
Make the work horse a tuning fork
And finance a forgotten tomb
The evidence of genealogy...

Great in day
Night is light
High on you 
Know
You were great 
You were you
You know more than you think
You know how you were
Know 
Know you more in time
Know more on one’s lows
Know finance on one’s
Know 
Know you get what you want by going after it
Know you in home
Know you know how you are
Know you are what you want to be
Know...

There was once a fella named Dan
                 Who always ran from the tax man
                        Till he woke up in jail cell
                        And he began to just yell
               Uncle Sam threw his butt in the can

when we took a chance
our home we had to finance
lost our shoes and pants

read a manual
how to care for spaniel
name was daniel

sunday seems to be
day God made for you and me
all of us agree

great priest obtained
is official and ordained
give sermon voice sprained

stock market plummet
after it had reached summit
then bottom had hit...

It was at first glance.
That I took a chance,
Had whirlwind romance, 
And fell for Lance.
Who was from France.
He asked me to Dance,
Then put me in a trance.
Next I started to prance,
A weird circumstance.
He said he did freelance,
And needed a cash advance; 
Was it all happenstance;
that he asked about finance?

Why would I work the eight year old asked me.
So you can live the life.
To eliminate strife.
How lame do you think I am? said Josie.
I’ll get paid not working without a fee.

‘Tis time to unwind as Christmas Day draws nigh
‘Tis time to kiss wisdom in finance goodbye
‘Tis time for purses and wallets to sigh
‘Tis time to understand the reason why...
‘Twas Christmas Eve when expectancy ran high
‘Twas Christmas Day when the world received God’s gift
of love named Jesus,
a priceless treasure that money cannot buy.

                   Merry Christmas!...
