THE BOYS’ TEAM (Bianca Marsden) What’s my line? Flashing phone lights and a TV screen Cigarettes and office politics Orange juice and kit-kats Messages to pass on Dictation of prices Quotations, offers, bids, The offer is x years of isolation On the trading team, The bid is integration and participation. We are not sellers. Low voices with no names audible, Obscure facts Not to be understood. |
What can’t be heard should not be heard. The boss pulls the final strings, The boys rule. Who’s a cheap seller? Bubbles to fill the working day, Brighten it up with fantasy To lift the dreary din Of prices, rates and shipment months, Buy ten Dec at market, Give me Sep dollars to sell, Are we sellers of April/June Lagos At fifty over…..? The differential is too high, We’re too far apart. We’re too far apart. |
