Ode to Mr. Johnny Cash by Tom Ryan
1932-2003

Well here comes that market open, it's headin' on down
and hell by 10:30 we're down enuf for maria to frown
so I figure on a line... z value says it's about damn time.
The way that mistress been treatin' me this week,
well it's like a white caller crime.

Well then, before you know it I got myself three points
Smilin' to myself I git up to exercize these ol' bony joints
I have some more coffee but then I got to pee
and won't you know it, while I'm gone that ole market mistress
is givin' the bizness to me

Damn computer screen says my three points r long gone
I sit and stare at those blinkin' lights all day long.
My partner says I had it comin' so don't be so cross
i say damn those z values and that guy Hayek too.
Lately my freakin p&l looks like it's lost

Well all you specs out there, now don't you go and fret
This stupid song sounds all descriptive but yet you can bet
when I'm down and busted and all week been wrong
the cycles they will be a changin'
so get ready to test your systems for some longs
