I'm not here to pontificate on greed  
I tend to think it's rarely a good look  
so here's the story of a real deed  
perhaps some day it'll make it to a book  
back in the day, when we had Y2K  
I had to spend my New Year's in New York  
the World Trade Center, had to be this way  
there was no work life balance, was just work  
and so of course we got Dom Perignon  
two cases so that everyone could drink  
and partied while we worked, to break of dawn  
but one case was left over, I do think

that case of course did go down with the Tower  
and I did not, and thank a higher power
