And so it is Christmas, tick off another year, in that there is no choice.
The supporter(s) of the stock had their say, but it seems a lonely voice.
With myopic conviction, invested the coins, and that is probably a few.
Heaven help those who dare present another view!

There are duplicate nicks, to suppress the echo.
I have a good laugh when I care to take a gecko.
I’ve seen it over and over many a year, the lure of making a buck.
Like the explorers of past, traveling across the world in order to try their luck.

It’s a tough game you see, one failed claim,
but the one over there, ah, that’s where we will now make our fame.
It’s the optimism of exploration; it’s the glint in our eye,
and may it always be so, let’s give it all, and then even another try.

History’s records are not on our side and more often the dream fails,
The coins invested, a more prosperous return with a call....‘Tails!’
But good on you all, it is the way our country was built!
Christmas cheer to us all, explorers and those of our ilk.
