Players, please – the market has opened and the competition is closing in.
Players, please – press play to proceed.

and immediately,
Tommy’s putting it all into R& D
he frees
collateral,
dumping out of date CPU’s into the RDP for the ANC
he’s watching a VDU on MTV about STD
and hoping his ACU can buy out Cel C.

Yes!

and far from fading,
Max is trading
on the Hang Sen
again.
despite his age,
the Rand exchange
has left him reeling.

(we know how he’s feeling.)

…and he’s backing the bidders of the buyers bearing the brunt of the burden
to forestall foreign factions forcing the foreclosure of factories he’s floating.
he’s buying Huurkor before Nedcor can get Iscor.
- and he still wants more!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The choices have been made,
And the LAN lines laid,

But who can free the male slave,
From the enclaves of his trade?

The reign of the Amazon is about to begin.
Who let those unruly women in!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Max Money’s talking
bear market,
bull market,
big bang grand slam market
it’s a terrible times ten market.

productivity is down,
can he rally round,
from his dallying down?

now his firm is devaluing…
now he’s rallying,
now dallying,
devalueing,
deflationary,
his output is stationary,

his cash flow couldn’t be leaner.
(he lost it all in Argentina.)

and Techno Tommy’s talking trouble,
his volatile memory’s more than doubling
his acoustic coupling’s
object code
has lost a node
his RAM ROM RAM ROM RAM DRAM RAM ROM
is fading,
is flailing,
is failing.

now Tommy’s multitasking,
the batch process is asking
for output in the parallel pixel protocol.
whole interfacing
is replacing
wholesale retailing,
he’s selling, is – Sold!

…what you see is the write ring spritr, WYSIWYG WYSIWYG…
…what you see is what you get, what you see is what you get…
…loop loop…logout…logoff…loop loop…

output erased, scroll, spool, abort - slump

address archived, off-line…upgrade - slump

For God’s sake Tommy Upgrade!

Max, why don’t you trade!
