AN ODE TO WARREN

From SALLY

Hickory dickery Dow,
What are we gonna do now.
Our biz whiz is leaving
the markets are heaving,
and Warren Buffett is grieving.

Wall St. is crumbling and
Jim Cramer’s mumbling:
Your advice was so humbling

So we all we can do
Is say we’ll miss you
And bye the way honey
Thanks for the tips on money.
