Oh woe is me, oh woe is me

I fear Ive lost my shirt

They`ve stole my stock in Northern Rock

And left me in the lurch.

Oh woe is me oh woe is me

My shares have hit the floor.

That bloody Blank has stuffed my bank

And now he`s back for more!

Oh woe is me oh woe is me

My oil shares hit the dumps.

The price has dropped in field and stock

But not the effing pumps!

Oh yes, oh yes... watch Barcleys go

And yes... here comes my Apple

Up comes the market... Praise the Lord

I think I`ll go to Chapel !!

Thanks Antonionioni.... my gut feeling is that the market`s bottomed, but things are still so volotile that todays good tip is 2morrows disaster...... so if you dont keep your eyes glued to that there screen and get your timing right you could be in for a long wait before you see any return on your investment!
Thanks for you comment Janet.... nice to see you last Thursday on a really good night at the Tudor......

Hi Cate,
enjoyed listening to you perform this one at Wigan, it came across well.
Just the right amount of humour injected to get the point across and keep the audience entertained. Well done.

So the drinks are on you next time Cate? Love the light hearted, fun nature of this poem - and so different...

Nice one Cate. The financial situation is a right pain in the arse, and dead worrying, but we are right also to poke fun at what's going on, as you've done in this.
