In the land where kangaroos leap and roam,
				
The future seems in fretful gloom, at home.
				
With economic path draped in shadows of the night,
				
A quandary has the bank’s interest rate in sight.
				
		
The French state roguishly hatches a scheme,
				
Its eye on Atos' assets, a golden dream,
				
A billion euros they seek to amass,
				
In pursuit of security and the big data class.
				
		
A melodious alliance takes a favored stand,
				
Blackstone's offer holds the stronger hand.
				
For Hipgnosis' trove, a bountiful feast,
				
Trumps Apollo's chorus, from the West to the East.
