.             Pass the present was
             a game, but it became
             a reality when time was
             equated to money and
             Dow Jones began to sell
             futures on stock markets.

             The days of hedging ones
             bets immediately became
             past tense because off
             shore shell companies used
             them as fun’ds for their
             entertainment at our expense.

             Then they introduced the
             once bitten coin for shy
             investors assuring them
             that pennies from Heaven
             was not just a song and
             they proved it with their 3
             coins in the Roman fountain.

             They talk about bull markets
             occasionally it’s a bear but
             culling in never mentioned
             because that would be the
             Proverbial red rag and the
             last thing they want you to
             is blood & gore of Pamplona.
