Winspear, yet more...

THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM

To dream the impossible dream,
To find dykes [or dypes, or pipes] the size of a whale,
To have on the Board of Directors,
Good folks who won't end up in jail

To drill holes that will hit the mark,
To love breccia both find and coarse,
To try to search mineral pathways,
to reach the unreachable source

This is my quest, to follow that train,
No mateer how costly, no matter what pain,
To drill all the holes, without respite or pause,
To be willing to go under lakes for this heavenly cause
And I know, if I just follow through with my billiant design,
That my stock will go higher and split
And that all will be fine

And the world will be better for this,
That our men with stock scorned at the bourse,
Still drilled, with our last dime of money,
To reach the unreachable source

This is my quest to follow that train,
No matter how costly, not matter what pain,
To drill all the holes, without respite or pause,

And to dream the impossible dream

I DON'T WANT A NICKEL (From Alice's Restaurant with Arlo Guthrie)
or WSP at 1.80

I don't want a nickel,
Just want to see the share price triple,
And I don't want to cry,
Just want to see the share price fly,

It was late last nite, the other day,
Thought Winspear had a real great day,
They just issued a great release,
But now the market thinks the stock has fleas,

I don't want a nickel,
Just want to see the share price triple
And I don't want to cry,
Just want to see the share price fly,

The day is early, there's more to go,
Newsletter writers sure can make things grow,
Bishop might issue a fax update,
That could make our little stock move great,

And I don't want a nickel,
Just want to see the share price triple,
And I don't want to die,
Just want to see the share price fly,

Now I must leave you on Memorial Day,
The Indy 500 should be on its way,
A race where cars are going fast and hazardous,
The name of our stock will go from Winspear to Lazarus,

And I don't want a nickel,
Just want to see our share price triple,
And I don't want to cry,
Just want to see the share price fly

COUNTING FLOWERS ON THE WALL

Counting diamonds from the drill,
Why does Winspear's price stand still?,
Lots of diamonds in the core,
But the stock's like a cheap whore,
It just slides right down and sells itself at any price,
Don't it know, that's not very nice?

Last year the stock was doing well and analysts said "buy",
This year they drilled, found dykes and more and saw the stock price die

Counting diamonds on your knee,
What's this market want to see?
We've got planetary farts,
That brought diamonds to these parts,
Waiting for the folks at Lakefield to prove things are fine,
Don't tell me, we won't have a mine

Continuing...

CAROLINA (AND LAKEFIELD RESEARCH) IN MY MIND

In my mind I'm going to Lakefield Research,
Don't see no confusion,
Just doin' caustic fusion,
And when they're finished with the rock,
The news will move the stock,
Yes, I'm going to Lakefield Research in my mind.

Winspear is good company, but they don't do too much promotion,
But as a clear result the stock price gets demotion
So I'm goin', goin'
Goin' to Lakefiled Research in my mind.

In my mind I'm going to Lakefield Research,
There they give rock contusions,
Got no Bre-X collusions,
And when they're finished with the rock,
The news will move the stock,
Yes, I'm going to Lakefield Research in my mind.

|26 METERS ACROSS SNAP LAKE, or 26 MILES ACROSS THE SEA, or
DIAMOND WILLIE'S SONG

26 Meters from Snap Lake's shores,
Lives a distant relative of dinosaurs,
His name is Diamond Willie,
The monster of Snap Lake, Snap Lake, Snap Lake, Snap Lake

Don't let him scare you cause he's just a nice guy,
He's Paleozoic and he always says "hi,"
His name is Diamond Wille,
The monster of Snap Lake, Snap Lake, Snap Lake, Snap Lake

He measures 30 meters from his front to his rear,
100 carat diamonds in each cute little ear,
His name is Diamond Wille,
The monster of Snap Lake, Snap Lake, Snap Lake, Snap Lake

You don't need geophysics or seismic or more,
All you do is follow Willie down Snap Lake's floor,
He'll show you diamonds,
The monster of Snap Lake, Snap Lake, Snap Lake, Snap Lake

Willie lived inside the lake when diatremes came,
Folks say Pyroclatics is just his middle name,
His name is Diamond Willie,
The monster of Snap Lake, Snap Lake, Snap Lake, Snap Lake

Ask him a question and Willie will say,
There's lots of pipes and dykes and gemstones this way,
Go and follow Willie,
The monster of Snap Lake, Snap Lake, Snap Lake, Snap Lake

THIS STOCK IS YOUR STOCK by Woody Tomato

This stock is your stock, this stock is my stock,
From Manitoba, to Botswana bedrock,
From the Snap Lake waters to Vancouver's high rise,
This stock was made for you and me

We've got some diamonds near a Lake called Camsell,
And Sohpie Taylor, she's a real damsel,
We've got our Russians and a first rate drill crew,
This stock was made for you and me

As I was walking that ribbon of dyke way,
I saw right near it an endless pipe way,
It went to Lakefield to count the carats,
This stock was made for you and me

The stock price languished despite the good news,
It made supporters reach out for their booze,
When the dust has settled a voice is chanting,
This stock is made for you and me

SOMEWHERE UNDER THE TUNDRA

Somewhere under the tundra
Way down low
There are precursor dykes and there also is a blow

Somewhere under the tundra
Carats lie
Carats Aber and Winspear will mine for you and I

Sometime in June the diamond count will be released
And values will astound me
The dykes they've found will be real stars
Like Ellen or the sun or Mars
They will remind me

Somewhere under the tundra
Carats lie
So fine when Liz Taylor sees them
She'll just turn green and die

If old Liz Taylor could just die
When seeing diamonds then our stock will fly

OUR DAY WILL COME

Our day will come,
And we'll have everything,
Dykes, sills, and pipes,
And Bobby's dogs will sing
Lakefield will tell us we've got a pricey hulk,
So don't you sulk,
Next sample - bulk

Our day will come,
Diamet will be outdone,
Carats real fine,
And lots of them per ton,
And Winspear just like a Phoenix will fly high,
And reach the sky,
Our day will come

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER -MEET DIAMOND WILLIE

Willie the Snap Lake Monster,
Had a very shiny skin,
Covered with lots of diamonds,
From his head down to his fin

Nessie and other monsters,
Laughed at his big shiny tails,
They thought that Diamond Willie,
Bought them cheap one day at Zale's

Then one foggy tundra day,
Randy Turner said,
"You know where the diamonds are,
Show me and you'll be a star"

Then Willie flipped his tail fin,
Said "You can drill here," with glee,
Willie the Snap Lake Monster,
You'll go down in history

TOMORROW

The stock price will rise tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
It will soar

Just thinking about tomorrow
Makes me want to margin and to borrow
To buy more

With the price in a range that's down and dirty
I just look out ahead and climb my mount

Oh the stock price will rise tomorrow
So you've got to hang on till tomorrow's
Diamond count

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow,
And carats in large amounts

IF I WAS A CARPENTER, AND YOU WERE A LADY

If I was a CEO, and you were a peon,
Would you like the option scam?
Whose side would you be on?

If you bought at four fifteen,
Could you defend it?
No, you'd say your CEO
Was a real bandit

Taking money from the poor,
Give'n'it to the wealthy,
He's a reverse Robin Hood,
With a bankbook healthy

If I was an officer, and you a shareholder,
Would you call a spade a spade,
Would things feel much colder?

Must reverse this stealing now,
Though I guess it's legal,
Call a big press conference soon,
Time to act more regal

If I was a CEO, and you were a peon,
Would you like the option scam?
Whose side would you be on?

IMAGINE by Don Quixotomato, tillting at Winspers

Imagine no repricing,
I wonder if you can,
Shareholders not being shafted,
Equality of man,
Imagine Randy Turner,
Saying, "I was wrong"
Oh, you may think I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one,
Maybe the board will join us,
And we'll live in peace as one

Imagine greed and avarice,
The law of karma too,
That gives some bad directors,
Their comeuppance and due,
Imagine intervention by some cosmic plan,
You may think I've just lost it,
But such things someitimes take place,
If directors don't clean up their act,
Things could blow up in their face*

Imagine they're not greedy,
It's easy if you try,
Working for our best interests,
Fiduciaries who aren't sly,
Imagine all directors,
Patient for rewards,
You might say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one,
If they act in our best interests,
Maybe we can all have fun

Blowin in the Wind

How many times can an option re-price
Before they call it a scam
How many shares must some officers grab
Before they are forced on the lam
How many e-mails can people ignore
Before folks admit they've been slammed
The answer my friend is blowin in the wind
The answer is blowin in the wind

How many people can one board screw
Before their conscience says whore,
How many millions of bucks must they have
Before they don't think they need more
How many times must they put themselves first,
And pretned that shareholders aren't sore,
The answer my friend, is blowin in the wind
The answer is blowin in the wind

LEANING ON A LAMP POST (from an idea from Marcos on the gardening
thread)

I'm pissing from the Winspear tent just waiting for results,
And for a certian CEO to come by
Oh me, oh my,
I hope the CEO will say why

I don't think he will get away
From shareholders who'll have their day
And private placement folks who ask why
Oh me, oh my
I don't think Randy's reasons will fly

There's no explanation for this deed,
The only good reason is pure greed
The e-mails just pile up for no need
Just say you don't care how, you want your bonus now

He's not at all accountable
His votes are insurmountable
And anyone can understand why
I'm pissing on the Winspear tent until a news release
In which a certain CEO explains why|

YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVIN' FEELIN'

You never raise your price, when I check your quote,
And there's no tenderness like before in your diluted float,
You're trying hard not to show it,
But baby, something baby, I know it

You've lost that Diamet feelin',
Woh oh, that Aber feelin,
You've lost that home run feelin',
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Woh oh oh oh

You never show drill maps when I seek results
And girl you're startin' to get upset and just trade insults
It makes me just feel like cryin'
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dyin'

You've lost that Diamet feelin'
Wow oh that Aber feelin'
You've lost that home run feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Woh oh oh oh

Baby, baby, I'd sing your praise 'till my throat did parch,
If that would get your price up, to where it was in March,
You were a stock, a stock you don't find every day,
So don't don't don't don't let it slip away

BATTLE HYMN OF THE ZIPPERGATE

Oh, my eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Pres,
Intercourse is not his preference and I must do what he says,
There's a nasty stain now on my dress,
I'll get it cleaned and pressed,
And then I will be gone

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Polls confirm Big Creep's approval,
There's slim chance of his removal,
The cover up goes on

Vernon Jordan is a sweet man and a job he'll find for me,
If I sign this affidavit saying, "Sex? Not with Big He!"
But I don't much like to lie although I'm used to it you see,
I"ll sign it and be gone

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Polls confirm Big Creep's approval,
There's slim chance of his removal,
The cover up goes on

I must call my good friend Linda Tripp, she's been such a friend and
more,
And I don't believe that Bennett dude who says she's like a whore,
Who would sell her mother out for a book deal- I think he's sore,
His client is a con

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Polls confirm Big Creep's approval,
There's slim chance of his removal,
The cover up goes on

Why do I have this bad feeling that my life might soon be frayed?
Could it be that Linda Tripp's no friend- that she had me betrayed?
This Ritz Carleton seems funny - 20 suits coming this way
The Feds are marching on

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Polls confirm Big Creep's approval,
There's slim chance of his removal,
The cover up goes on

There are those who say my mouth's too big, that I am kind of dumb,
But my mouth's the perfect size to make the Free World's leader come,
What a wicked world we live in that would cause me to be shunned,
The truth will soon come out

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Polls confirm Big Creep's approval,
There's slim chance of his removal,
The cover up goes on

Yes, I screwed my drama teacher and befriended his old wife,
After five years of good loving, he betrays me, gives me strife,
Holds a press conference and slanders me - what's happening with my
life?
At least my name's in lights!

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Polls confirm Big Creep's approval,
There's slim chance of his removal,
The cover up goes on

Though I might be soon indicted thanks to Tripp and Kenneth Starr,
Seems my presidential kneepads have for now taken me far,
In the old days what I've done would bring me feathers and some tar,
Now I'm a super star!

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Polls confirm Big Creep's approval,
There's slim chance of his removal,
The cover up goes on
