The time your IPO sold well
We cheered you at the closing bell.
Traders on the floor cried “buy”
And sent you to a record high.
Today, a Judge impounds your stock
And puts your assets on the block,
As from your officers you slip
Received into receivership.
Smart play, admitting to defeat,
Now that your specs are obsolete.
For early though a tech may please
It withers briefer than CDs.
Lawsuits bankruptcy will close
Cannot offend the public nose,
And creditors cannot assail
Those behind the corporate veil.
Now you will not join the pack
Of those delisted from NASDAQ,
Another former brand of fame
Where the value died before the name.
So get, before the news is out,
Another app that you can tout,
And hold new promise out to us
By lying in your prospectus.
And to your neatly crafted spin
Will flock the suckers who want in,
As trusting as the newly born,
Lambs begging to be fleeced and shorn.
