My old friend and brother

My old friend and brother
in  arms may have lost
a jiffy in which some
men subscribe to wholes
in their theories - what
would you get for a chance
to prescribe a lofty perch
over some adolescent bubbles
worth a grain of salt on
the gold market - LIARS!
I cried! - They'll never
be an ally of ours - Don't
touch their jobs without some
kind of ointment...
