alas the principles are left reeling
as the wizards applied their magic
and we were left feeling
it was not about what we had to offer
which makes this news quite tragic

the big picture lost amongst the fuddle
left our emotions and energies coagulated in a puddle
what wonders we could have brought to the table
what potentials we could elevate had we been able
to get past the pissing and sniffing
of wizards with no inkling
the real big picture was not a fable

instead they drew lines in the sand
and pounded their chests to make a stand
that more money is better than less
and vision and potential is a but a afterthought
for failure is our problem after all is bought

so with this all behind I must confess
as all we had we were about to risk
we pulled the plug to flush this mess

Ilwaco is not ready for us... tisk tisk
