Ode to Captain Jack and Compaq the Pig
(with apologies to Night Writer)

Captain crying in the night,
Saw a pig and got a fright;
Captain crying 'eyes all achin':
thought the pig would save his bacon;
Trussed the pig and fetched his axe;
Thought, "I'll reduce my income tax."

Captain crying under-esti-mated,
This pig's greed was not yet sated;
Grunting, squealing, snorting, sighing
Compork farted and started flying.

NW--- Great poem. I just got in and it made me smile. Of course the PIG brought a little smile today also. No I have not changed my mind. I have too many gains and atleast 50% of CPQ will go for the tax man... Hoping Els 'projections' are low and a higher % will go...
