3 days before the Earnings Call-
And up in the Towers,
The VPs and King David
Are counting the hours!
They've called in the Doctors
Who master the Spin!
“We'll need a good face to put on-
For the mess we are in!’
Cheetah and Humpback were dry,
But we'll be happy to say-
"We're cutting BU staff
Less than two weeks from today!"
Will that be enough
To hide all our terrors?
After 5 dry holes in a row
(What a comedy of errors!)
We'll marginalize costs
And ignore all the rest,
And tell our investors
Just pray for the best!
So, 8 weeks in the future
When it comes Christmas’ day,
We'll have forgotten those dear folks
We've let go and we’ll say-
"Our bonuses saved
And our jobs are alright,
So, good tidings to Us
And to Us a Good Night!’
Now, back in the BUs
We lie in the ‘Bed’
WE had no part making
But WE feel the Dread-
Of losing our jobs
As the 10th now draws near,
No word from the Masters
Who caused all this fear!
We’ll take what they give us
There’s nothing to say…
We’ll just go on living
And hope for the Day-
Our paths cross again
With those folks who, like Judas,
Turned their backs on us all,
Walked away, and just screwed us!
