The World Is Now Open For Business

This was my topic, as well as the one below "When the Winds change". I have a habit of offering up several topics at once. But I am proud to say that from it sprung my very first working poem that actually rhymes!


The world is now open for business,
It will do quite well, I'm sure,
Fast food, real estate and stock markets,
All that, oh yes, and much more.

The world is now open for business,
Dope, cocaine and all the rest
Illegal or not, we don't particularly care,
So long as the coppers stay off of our chest.

The world is now open for business,
Neon lights and corporate ads
Now we've started, none can resist us,
Look out for all the new fads.

The world is now open for business
We're scooping the cash up real fast,
But oil has peaked,
And the havoc we've wreaked,
Has ensured that it could never last.
