It's very, very rude to sneeze, or
cough when eating a malteser.
This tale, I hope, will tell you why
and, furthermore, exemplify
That there is reason at the core
of what may seem quite trivial lore.
The hero of our tale is Dan,
A small and unambitious man,
Who, faltering in his career,
Took comfort in the world of beer.
And little knew that cupid's dart
Would shortly pierce him through the heart.
The object of his love is set
To be a girl we've not yet met.
We'll meet her now, her name is Charlotte,
She is, to be discrete, a startlet
And though her star has not yet risen
It's certain that we should envision
That one day, 'neath the limelight's blaze,
She'll tap her way across the stage.
From this, I'm sure, you can deduce
Terpsichore is Charlotte's muse,
And that she will, at every chance,
Break out into high stepping dance.
But how will Cupid bring to bear
His arrows on this disparate pair?
We find a place wherein, by chance,
Are joined together beer and dance.
For Dan, ejected from the pub,
Went onwards to a London club
Where he could sup on high priced ale
'Til in the sky the dawn was pale.
'Twas to that very club, by chance,
That Charlotte chose to go and dance.
So fate bought each to one location,
To follow their chosen recreation.
We return to Dan, how un-like him
To venture past the dancefloor's rim.
But he, for the very first time that night
Saw a woman who matched his own small height.
To the lilt of the Isley's 'Summer Breeze'
Their eyes met over a crowd of knees.
And, forcing himself into the groove,
Dan went forth to bust a move.
Together they danced 'til the club was closed,
Walked out together as dawn arose.
'Neath the morning chimes of great Big Ben,
They shyly agreed to meet again,
And Charlotte knew she'd found a winner,
When Dan suggested he cook her dinner.
The evening came of their fateful tryst,
Dan in the kitchen (a little bit pissed),
Was preparing the finest meal he could.
Let me tell you about it, it's rather good.
A starter of eggs, just lightly poached,
Over which a spicy sauce encroached
Then into the main with a fine big fillet,
Cooked medium rare on the chef's own skillet.
Profiteroles drenched in a chocolate sauce
Were a very fine choice for the pudding course.
And each of them talked, and each of them laughed,
Now taking a bite, now taking a draft,
Dan could not help but notice her lips, full and sweet,
Were but rarely inclined to be closed when she'd eat.
For the very last course he had real woman pleasers,
For they sat on the couch with a box of maltesers,
Which Dan lifted by suction, using a straw,
And then dropped gently into her gaping wide maw
But the honeycomb middle is brittle and fragile,
And Dan, after dinner, not awfully agile.
So, when Charlotte broke out with a sneeze and a cough,
And a razor sharp piece of malteser broke off,
He could not move aside 'ere it entered his eye,
Bringing us to the time when we bid Dan goodbye.
And find Charlotte distraught at her terrible loss
(though not too badly shaken to finish the box).
This tale has a moral, quite clear and quite sad,
That such brittle delights can be terribly bad.
So if you are prone to a cough and a sneeze,
Best you finish your meal with the soft fruit and cheese.

Caring for llamas and camels
Oh, don't ever mock a llama,
no don't ever make one cry.
For they're much inclined to drama
and the foolish beast may die.
When you stand before St Peter,
when you wait before his gate,
if you are a llama harmer
don't expect a happy fate.
And the same thing goes for camels
and for dromedaries too.
For all the creatures that are classed
as ungulates in the zoo.
Don't go creeping up behind
to give their back a hefty thump
(having always on your mind
the thought to make the poor beast jump),
for such a cruel whack
may quite distress the hapless mammal,
thus bringing on a heart attack
and leaving you 'sans camel'.
And later, in the dead of night,
as in your bed you lie,
you may perceive a ghastly light,
may hear an eerie cry.
Yes you may see, beside your bed,
there in the ghostly gloom,
a camel risen from the dead
to haunt you in your room.

Captain Dan
Captain Dan was an Action Man
who died in interrogation.
He never revealed the Master Plan,
he defended a heedless nation.
Now, under the earth his eagle eyes
stare sightlessy into the dark,
by the rhubarb patch, where his body lies
in a grave without a mark.
The cause of his torment is now a man,
a leader of our society.
Never a hint of where he began,
reknowned for his kindness and piety.
But at night he thinks of inflicted pain,
staring sightlessly into the dark.
He knows if he could he would do it again
and never leave a mark.

Stravros Café
Apologies to Suzanne Vega, but I am afraid that this is to the tune of 'Tom's Diner'.
When you wake up
in a doorway
and your clothes all smell of wee wee
and you notice
that beside you
is a little pool of vomit.
And your head is really hurting
and you badly need the toilet
especially as you notice
that you smell a bit like pooh.
You remember
that last evening
you went out for just a quick one
with the people
from the office
'cause you'd had a really bad day.
And you all went to a wine bar
where they serve a cheeky Merlot,
but it took a while to notice
no one else was drinking red.
And by the time
you clocked on
you were outside you first bottle
and another
bottle turned up
and it seemed rude not to drink some.
You were getting kind of slurry
and a little bit agressive,
which was probably a bad time
for your boss to come along.
But you went
across to join him
'cause you thought it was a good time
to start up
a conversation
about some of his shortcomings.
But he didn't want to listen,
which was typical of his type,
so you trapped him in a corner
and you told it to him straight.
He was quite
surprised to hear that
he was such a total arsehole
and unreasonably
suggested
you discuss it in the morning.
You remember, at that moment
someone came round with Sambuca
and you necked at least two shots down
just before you punched the boss.
You could see
his nose was bleeding
and you thought it might be broken
so you went to
try and help him
but he only kept on screaming.
Then the bouncers came and grabbed you,
you were chucked out of the winebar,
and you said you'd take them all on,
but they didnt want to fight.
It was there
outside the wine bar
that you realised you were starving
so you thought
the best idea
would be to visit Stavros' café.
Because when you have a skinful
there is nothing that tastes better
than a great big pile of Donner
and a load of chili sauce.
You are too pissed
to eat in here
said the man who runs the café.
So you gave him
the two fingers
and you staggered up the High street,
and you saw a nice shop doorway
where you sat and ate your Donner
but it made you want to throw up,
after which you fell asleep.
Then you wake up
in a doorway
and your clothes all smelt of wee wee
and you noticed
that beside you
was a little pool of vomit.
And your head was really hurting
and you badly need the toilet
especially as you noticed
that you smelt a bit like pooh.

If (with apologies to Rudyard Kipling)
If you can turn a profit when the others
are losing their's and don't know what to do.
If you won't hesitate to sell your mother,
and maybe to throw in your sister too.
If you can drink all night and not get plastered
or dine with customers that you just hate,
and not let on that they're all total bastards
('til after you have screwed them on the rate).
If you can meet with brokers or with vendors
and tell them that they'll make a pile of loot,
when all the time you've only one agenda,
to make them pay for drugs and prostitutes.
If you cock up by going long on Cable,
when everyone says Sterling's going to fail,
and know that you are going to be able
to blame it on IT if you should bail.
If you can whinge when you receive a bonus
that buys you an apartment in the Cays,
complaining over Bolly with your cronies
that Labour's brought the country to its knees.
If you find words a bit too complicated,
if you communicate in grunting sounds,
if you think evolution's over rated
and when you walk your knuckles scrape the ground.
If you spend all the time you should be working
surfing the web or talking about sex,
if you could teach a MasterClass in shirking
the chances are that you trade Spot FX

The maiden and the gigolo
A young Italian male, up for a night out in the city
takes elaborate precautions to be certain that he's pretty.
He's quite preoccupied by his tonsorial preparation.
His follicles are at the point of Brylcreme saturation.
With a new Armani suit and a shirt of shocking pink
he's just the kind of boy you'd like to take out for a drink.
And here's a shy young English maiden, on her way out to the dance.
The night, for her, is laden with the promise of romance.
A pretty picture she, in her sophisticated dress,
in flushed anticipation of a lover's first caress.
She whispers out her fondest wish upon the brightest star,
That she might find a young man, with his own teeth and a car.
There's a trendy London couple are hosting a soirée,
a Mecca for the beautiful, from near and far away.
There's wine and beer and Champer's, all the cocktails you can mix,
there's food from Fortnum's hampers and there's sausages on sticks.
There never was a better chance to circulate and mingle
with others of outstanding grace, the pretty, young and single.
So here's a common venue where these two young folk are drawn,
(For in Aphrodite's chess game is not each of us a pawn).
Our young Italian gigolo is first upon the scene,
his eyes and smile a-glitter and his hair a sullen gleam.
He looks every inch the dandy in his smart designer gear,
for that Georgio Armani tailors amply in the rear.
The maiden fair, arriving next, is greeted by the host,
who's keen to offer all that his establishment can boast.
She asks of him a French Vermouth (he doesn't know the brand)
but in the name of hospitality takes the matter into hand,
and, ushering her in, to make her welcome in his home,
returns an moment later with our proud young son of Rome.
“I think I heard you right, you asked me for a Noilly Prat?
I hope that this will fill the bill, I leave you two to chat.”
And chat he did, 'til dawn's cold light into the sky did creep,
('twas only then he noticed that he'd bored the girl to sleep).
And on they chat, and chat they shall, together now for life,
for you've just been told the story of how Marco met his wife.

Sliding out a sly one
I'm sliding out a crafty one,
I'm being most discrete.
I'll slope off, slyly, when it's done
and leave it on your seat.
It's good to leave one's scent behind,
a funny thing to do,
especially when, last night, you've dined,
on pungent Vindaloo.
I'm sliding out a sneaky one,
a pungent little gift.
It really is a lot of fun
to leave one in a lift.
It's vital, in a closed in space,
to make sure that it's silent,
and get out once you've done, in case,
your helpless prey turn violent.
I'm sliding out a sly one,
It's leaving quite a pong.
I'm careful that it doesn't run
in case it all goes wrong.
It has to be exactly right,
I don't hold back, nor push,
for then I'd run the risk it might
all come out in a gush.

Limericks
A young gambler, known as Shamir,
was fond of casinos, we hear
that he liked the odd punt,
liquor, up at the front,
and Poker, of course, in the rear.
There's not many who have seen Paul's
unfeasibly well shaven balls.
They produce silky down,
from which he's made a gown
and a number of very nice shawls.

A brief guide to the calculation of MTM P&L in the FX market.
You should compute position at PV
With Discount Factors from the market rates
Which you interpolate, (log-linearly),
To give the values for your broken dates.
Then sum the cash flows for each given date,
This sum times Discount Factor will provide,
A set of values, summed again to calculate
A total to which, now, may be applied
A reval FX rate. This will return
the Dollar value of your currency.
Add this to your true Dollar and you'll learn
Your P&L (again shown at PV).
The outcome of this simple set of sums
Will form the base from which your bonus comes.

They cannot, therefore, constitute

The Actors and the Guardsmen
There's an office of convenience
in a well known London park
where Thespians and Guardsmen
sometimes meet up after dark.
The soldiers are quite charming
and the Actors lose their hearts,
which makes them feel much better
if they only have small parts.
Small parts, small parts, small parts, small parts.
Oh the Actors feel much better if they only have small parts.
A jolly time is had by all
and many a likely lad
may waltz off with an Actor
old enough to be his dad.
Some nights there's entertainment
from the regimental band,
some with big drums on their chests
and some with piccolos in hand.
In hand, in hand, in hand, in hand
Oh you can't resist a Guardsman with his piccolo in hand
The dancing is a sight to see,
it goes on through the night.
But as it gets to morning
and the Eastern sky grows bright,
Actors need their beauty sleep,
for Guardsmen duty calls.
But everyone is happy,
for they love their summer balls.
Their balls, their balls, their balls, their balls.
Oh the actors and the guardsmen have a great time at their balls.
When a Guard is on parade,
why there's no finer sight than that,
with brightly polished weapon
and a great big furry hat.
But if you meet a guard
don't ever ask him where he's been,
for he's not allowed to tell you
that he's stood before a queen.
A queen, a queen, a queen, a queen.
Oh a Guardsmean won't admit he's stood erect before a queen.
The Guardsmen, in their training
as a military force,
climb ropes and nets and walls
out on the army assault course.
Sometimes the Actors try it,
and it's really quite a hoot
to see the old chaps struggle
up the Guardsmen's slippery chute.
Their chute, their chute, their chute, their chute.
Oh the Guardsmen really love to get the old boys up their chute.
Now the Guards are very fit
(they have to march so awfully fast
and, when they're on manouevers,
have the stamina to last).
But however far they go,
and even if they get a step on,
they're always very sure
to keep a firm hand on their weapon.
Their weapon, their weapon, their weapon, their weapon
Oh you'll often see a soldier holding tightly to his weapon.
A Guardsman may grow old
and leave the service of the Queen.
And some may even tread the boards
and join the acting scene.
The Critics and the Press
wil give them honorable mention,
and later, in the park,
the young Guards stand up to attention.
Attention, attention, attention, attention.
Oh the old boys can still make the young Guards stand up to attention.

out on the army assault course.
Sometimes the Actors try it,
and it's really quite a hoot
to see the old chaps struggle
up the Guardsmen's slippery chute.
Their chute, their chute, their chute, their chute.
Oh the Guardsmen really love to get the old boys up their chute.
Now the Guards are very fit
(they have to march so awfully fast
and, when they're on manouevers,
have the stamina to last).
But however far they go,
and even if they get a step on,
they're always very sure
to keep a firm hand on their weapon.
Their weapon, their weapon, their weapon, their weapon
Oh you'll often see a soldier holding tightly to his weapon.
A Guardsman may grow old
and leave the service of the Queen.
And some may even tread the boards
and join the acting scene.
The Critics and the Press
wil give them honorable mention,
and later, in the park,
the young Guards stand up to attention.
Attention, attention, attention, attention.
Oh the old boys can still make the young Guards stand up to attention.
