The year started well
For those who like to yell
About their loss making stonks
But it all came crashing down
And many began to frown
Including the many shonks
For the crypto bro crowd
Who think decentralised is allowed,
Haven’t thought of regulations
They tout the ability
To send money with agility
To drug dealers and avoid global sanctions
Despite the volatility
They "hodl" to infinity
Believing in democratised money
They haven’t worked out
Their thesis creates doubt
In sovereigns n ‘ll go down the dunny
The fed is in a bind
As the markets continue to grind
Due to excess central bank injections
Inflation is building
And many are fearing
That Powell will change market perceptions.
The FAANG have powered
And their profits have delivered
Much of the index return
The prospect of this not changing
With the tailwinds they’re experiencing
Causes short sellers serious burn
The Apes are quite funny
With their speculative money
Bidding up rubbish exponentially
Their combined IQ
Is missing a few
Digits to get to a century
The high quality crew
Who focus on the few
Outstanding profitable companies
They’ve done more than fine
Biding their time
Compounding and avoiding the numpties
Elon was promoted
To Time mags Devoted
Illustrious Man of the year
Only Time will tell
If this was the bell
For the beginning of market wide fear
A life in the Metaverse
Sounds new and perverse
When nature offers so much
But the world is addicted
To devices and afflicted
By social media and such
The Rona still lingers
With a few antivax whingers
Complaining about freedoms gone
They claim they’ve been gagged
But most have been jabbed
Their arguments are really a yawn
The next year awaits
With hope at the gates
For normal life to resume
We wish you a safe rest
Avoiding twitter is best
And let you belly over consume.
