PART I - THE PROPOSITION
JIMMY WAS THERE
FOR THE BUSINESS PROPOSAL
WHEN THE PARTNERS PROPOSITIONED ME
"I'M AT YOUR DISPOSAL"
I SAID, WITH A SMILE
IN RESPONSE TO THEIR QUERY
VAGUE IN IT'S DETAIL
I WAS SKEPTICALLY LEERY
I'VE NEVER BEEN ONE
TO GO OUT ON A LIMB
BUT, I SETTLED WITH THE BAR
AND SAID GOODNIGHT TO JIM
HE SAID, "GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR VENTURE..."
AS I PASSED THROUGH THE DOOR
"...GOOD INVESTMENTS PAY OFF
TWO FOLD, MAYBE MORE."
AND HE OUGHT'A KNOW
'CAUSE HE'S DOING QUITE WELL
*THREE FORK REVIEWS*
AND BUSINESS IS SWELL
PART II - THE MEETING
SO, I HURRIED ON HOME
FOR THE MEETING AT HAND
AND I DREW A HOT BATH
AND A LINE IN THE SAND
PROTECT PRIOR INVESTMENTS
RULE ONE IN MY BOOK
I TORE THE PAGE OUT, AND ATE IT
WON'T FIND OUT LEST I LOOK
SO, DISSOLVING MY BOUNDARY
I LET THEM BOTH IN
BY THE DIM FIRE'S LIGHT
LET THE MEETING BEGIN
NEGOTIATIONS AND CONTRACTS
LET THE MERGER COMMENCE
TOO LATE TO TURN BACK
THERE'S NO JUMPING THE FENCE
ONE DISAPPEARED
IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT
TO BE RETURNING LATER
WHEN THE TIMING IS RIGHT
PART III - THE MERGER
"WE'D LIKE TO DO BUSINESS
WITH YOUR FIRM IN THE END..."
SAID THE PARTNER, OF THE PACKAGE DEAL
"...INCLUDING MY FRIEND."
WHEN THE OTHER RETURNED
AND LEARNED OF THE NEWS
FOLLOWED THE CUSTOMARY HANDSHAKE
AND CONSUMPTION OF BOOZE
AND COMBINING OUR ASSETS
THE DEAL IT WAS DONE...
A THREE WAY MERGER
INCORPORATION TO ONE
