Children were made to look their best for the event
Sadly the Stock Exchange was now an Athletic Club
They did celebrate with a Sock Exchange
The only fear, the next bubble to burst
They gathered on the sunlit grassy area
The church drum with logo lay ready to pound
Seriously silly costumes began to arrive
One poor man had to re-apply his ear
A couple rested in advance of the long march
Sadly, signs were laid upside down on the lawn
Funny signs were seen everywhere
Nobody dared accuse him of an insincere smile
A more well-phrased sign could not be imagined
One man's expression closely paralleled his shirt
The ever present Doggie Diner dogs were ever present He wore a coat of many colors She wore an Arabic head piece with a feather boa They were the perfectly mismatched couple And Lo, so began the 31st parade A fierce beat rallied the holy crowd
One man illustrated the parade's thoughtful planning Bishop Joey (with drum) led the parade onto Market Street Another sign of the down-turned economy A ledgimate protest in a silly costume And Lo, they arrived at the Federal Reserve Bank They knelt to pay respect to so much waste
One girl rode her noble steed to the event She had not one, but three feathers in her cap And Lo, the parade next moved up California Street A brief pause at the statue of the Bare-Butt Mechanic A musical interlude laid calm to rumors He spoke of landfill and bedrock, and they listened
He offered but a single flower in alms She caught the thrown ball neatly on her nose An apt hat disguised his secret texting He looked left with cool attention The blue/green man finally noticed the camera One man calmly awaited the parade to continue
Business men told to, "Go back to work." And Lo, Bishop Joey led them down into the valley The bold and the meek waited together for the word The church logo adorned his vestments And the word was, "Sit down and rest." And Lo, they all sat and rested
The sign tilted for it too wanted to rest The parade began to march once again One sign claimed Bankers Prosper
