Upon yon Aegon's lofty aims, in sooth,
A bounteous claim of gain they doth decree,
By focusing their strategy, forsooth,
On US unit's earnings, fortunes free.
In midst of turmoil, sturdy DS Smith,
Exceeds the hopes, adjusted earnings high,
With pounds eight hundred sixty-one forsooth,
In trade as smooth as aged wine doth lie.
To East the sun hath cast a golden glow,
As Nippon's progress strides o'er reform's stage,
Goldman doth praise the Topix lift, ye know,
As twelve months hence the gainful climb presage.
