The Bulls and the Bears

The ups and downs of Bull and Bear
stock market moves for those who dare
allow some folks Mercedes Benz,
depending on the Market trends.

Bulls kill with upward thrust of horn,
while bear claws’ downward swipe is born.
Some Market folk draw blood and gloat
as others lose their shirt and coat.

Buy fifty shares Big Pharmacy
and hope the bull looks up to see
the adversary full of breath—
then with his horn stabs him to death.

Thus if the bear comes with his swipe
stand not aside with pout and gripe,
yet sell the stock like lightning quick
so major loss won’t make you sick.

The Bulls and Bears on battleground
of speculation can be found,
and care not what the wounds might be…
but rather heed economy.
