Now Windows wants yours.

How to find it, save it, and stay in control.

What keeps the stock market
Going higher and higher?
Are they all just
Getting high on their own supply?

As a general rule
I am sound asleep at 11:30 pm
But for those insomniacs
Who might feel like they
Are losing one of their cherished traditions
Remember the markets rule
So don’t buy what they sell
And there will always be cable (I think.)

Is much pseudo-science
That masquerades as real science
I’ll bet you dollars to donuts that
They bring back Phrenology

I spent hours during Summer of 1973
Watching Senate Watergate hearings
Watergate scandal began as an actual crime
Reporting continued, so did the hearings
And then Alexander Butterfield testified
There are tapes
The tale of the tape was indisputable
History is a-rhyming

To understand something so thoroughly that

Put them together and you have
