11/8 - Hedging Your Bets Poem by michael spangenberg

The tension - Almost two months after 9/11

In spite of climate-change disastrous risk
You're driving that fuel-expensive SUV
Don't like inflating pump prices for gasoline
What do you do, you invest in ExxonMobile, of course
The perfect hedge, what you Big-Oil consumer loses
Is what you multiply as Exxon shareholder
Hopeful of handsome net-operating-income.

In spite of the US Election travesty
Impossible choice between two devils
But Hillary has at least a decent agenda
Un-compromising Inclusion & Hope, for All
Let's vote for less-than-perfect, Hillary
And bet on Narcissist-in-Chief, Donald
I can afford to lose $1 million - you too?

Hillary loses, it breaks the nation - And your heart
Fortunately, the drama's offset by gaining lots-of-cash
Donald wins, society loses big, but hey, not-You
A con-artist just made you a real multi-millionaire
Who says that crime doesn't pay?
