THE MONEY JUGGLER

THE JUGGLER

The money juggler –
hoists a ball: a rich man’s richer.
Lets one fall: a suicide.

while I worship brevity

and accept ambiguity, not sure if this one makes it for me. Is the suicide a rich man's fall or the despair of the deprived? cheers, Jess

Thanks Jess, Dealers - in

Thanks Jess, Dealers - in currency or stocks and shares [ie the Jugglers] - seem to be blissfully immune to the despair [and immense gains] their activities can cause. They only damage their clients and remain with unburnt fingers. Some of the extreme fluctuations recently seem to have no connections with real conditions in the outside world. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Nadolig llawen & blwyddyn newydd dda geseënde Kersfees & gelukkige nuwejaar Mike
