Day Forty-three

Today's words:

Finance

Stamina

Stadium

Commander

Key

Vinegar

In finance,

Like in many things in life, stamina

Is important. Can you run the circuit of the stadium

Under the watchful eye of the Commander?

He's got the key

To the cave, where there's wine that doesn't taste like vinegar.

Otherwise you'd think you were drinking vinegar.

I don't know how they finance

The good wine, but I'd imagine the key

Lies somewhere in the stamina

Shown by our commander,

As he stands, ramrod straight in the stadium.

The other soldiers in the stadium

Look like they've tasted vinegar.

They know that for the Commander

To finance

Some good wine they'll need to prove their stamina;

He'll not give up the key

That easily. So getting on his good side is key.

If he can stand in the stadium

All day showing off his stamina

Well we can too. We won't have the vinegar

Kicked out of us, even though the finance

Here appears to be controlled by the Commander. 

There goes the Commander

Now, swinging his key.

I've hear there's a millionaire going to finance

Construction of a new stadium.

But first have a shot of vinegar - 

It builds stamina.

And it's stamina

You'll need to go up against the Commander.

He's full of piss and vinegar

And holds the key
To the stadium.

He knows more about finance

Than any of us, but it's his stamina that's key.

And as I watch the Commander strut about the stadium,

My mouth tastes of vinegar, and I wish I'd studied finance.
