I cannot begin to express the emotion which overwhelmed me by reading the "Ode to the Dutchie". It inspired me to trust my own poetic contemplation to this board. I call it:
The Traders' Tango: Trading till we're sore
(insprired by Tom Waits' Tango till you're sore)
In Mohicanland exist the Trading Three
the three as in E. Lane, CT, DT
We're here to stay and there is more
We'll be trading till we're sore.
Often we are caught up in controversy
unjustly so, most unfortunately
we only wish to do some more
of that sweet trading till we're sore.
You now, the vanishing of She
cannot be traced back to the Three
the Three, most happily, wish for
more trading till they're sore.
Courier Editors, can't you see
we want to stop all the hostility?
We honestly want nothing more
but to be trading till we're sore.
Sincerely, we can promise thee
to handle business very carefully
would that convince you to be for
old-fashioned trading till we're sore?
Sincerly,
DT
