10:37 doougle: Twas the night before witching
and all through the street
Not a future was moving
not even /GC’s

The options were spread
by the big board with care
in hopes that austerity
soon would be there

The traders were nestled
all snug in their beds
while visions of special dividends
danced in their heads

When over the wire
there arose such a chatter
I sprang to my screen
to see what’s the matter

When, what to my wondering
eyes should appear
a spike in volatility
a measure of fear

Canter, Pelosi
Beohner and Reed
Speak at the capitol
With nothing agreed

With pundits a plenty
Inversely aligned
The media caters
And speaks to their kind

Though all are dismayed
at the state of our nation
Our “leaders” wrap up
And go on vacation

So nothing gets settled
No deal is struck
Merry Christmas to all
and to traders, good luck!
10:37 doougle: thanks all
