Cashflow Fiasco

 

Shares fall,

brought low;

lying little Tesco.

Top guys?

Porky pies!

Jackanory stats.

Imaginary futures,

greedy little…

 

Tesco, uh oh!

Pants on fire.

Tongues as long as a telephone wire.

Cashflow fiasco;

Pinocchio noses.

Standardised carrot size?

Shove it

where the sun don’t…

 

Tesco swing low,

all fall down.

All the credibility

of third rate clowns.

Ha! I enjoyed how playful you were with this one, Laura.

"Standardised carrot size?
Shove it

The Tesco scandal I guess would be like if Walmart was involved in a scandal over here...that would be a huge deal!
