The fool with email

Day after day, alone with email

The man with the foolish thoughts

Writes an editorial.

But nobody takes him serious,

They can see that he likes to fool,

And he provides some respite

But the fool with email

Sees the year winding down,

And the thoughts in his head,

Make a jing-jangly sound.

Well on their way, in 2006,

Pharma with a thousand choices,

Many leads do abound.

But nobody knows which one will

Improve the old bottom line.

They hope in the new fiscal season

That their pipelines will swell

As the techniques improve,

And the patients get well

With the drugs Feds approve.

While none can predict the future,

They know how they would like to do,

Even still they show their feelings

That the folks in great need

On the globe that we live

Make a new crop of meds

A great imperative.

With our help these folks'll go on,

'cuz they know that we've the tools

To help the world.

And this fool with email

Wishes you and yours well,

As another year dawns

And we see hope yet swell.
