Winter Wonderland

WINTER WONDERLAND

Telephones are a ringing

Wall Street sources are singing

They’re calling to tout

Their new markets and shout,

“Investing international is grand!”

Can you sense the new deal flow?

It’s immense, and did you know

That as long as we play

In 144a

Investing international is grand!

                Most of Western Europe gets us frisky;

                The Eastern part is not yet worth our toil.

                The government of Mexico’s too risky

                But we’ll still do their phones, cement and oil.

The Far East is emerging

And Japan is resurging.

But the China we buy

Is the dining room kind

When investing international is bland.

                Most foreign country deals are not a problem

                Unless the currency’s the krugerand.

                We’d do an asset-backed on the Sahara

                If we could only monetize the sand.

If THEY pay, and the yield fits

We’ll foray on the field trips.

It’s full speed ahead

‘Til the Tower sees red

and investing international is banned.
