though I posted this back on November 21, I've shortened it a bit, and with the season drawing closer and closer, and with the trading of WWF also drawing nearer and nearer, I couldn't resist, so I'm posting an abridged version of the poem. With the writers on strike here in the States, this is the best that I could come up with. As I won't be able to see what is happening until Monday afternoon,
I hope you enjoy it. GO WWF GO
A Visit From Foley©gumby1116(original version 11/21/2007)
©gumby1116 (abridged version 12/07/2007)'Twas the night before trading day, when all through the Hub,
No one was posting, not the lowliest grub;
The stock was hung up by MRS, (they didn’t care),
Hoping that complaints would fade - wouldn’t be there;
*The investors were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of dollar signs danced in their heads;
Everyone wondered about the imminent ReleaseIn Chorus sounded out, “Could we see it, pretty, PLEASE?” *When out on the (inter)net there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the windows (operating system) I flew like an eagle,
I opened the e-mails and threw out the beagle.
*The mood on the HUB of the Winfield investors,
Gave off a glow, of multi-golden clusters,
When, what do you think Foley did seal,
I don’t believe it, more than ONE deal.
*With good old’ Foley, so lively and quick,
Who knew in a moment, this was THE stock pick.
More rapid than eagles his releases they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
*"On, Rwanda! On Alberta, and now Libya,
What else can I add, ‘bout Tunisia!
To the top of the charts! To the top of the wall!
Now trade away! Trade away! Trade away all!"*Foley sprang to his desk, to his (IR) team gave a whistle,
And away the stock, flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, as it flew like a kite,
"HAPPY TRADING TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT” Let's get WWF trading soooooon!!!
