Bloom Ports World And Poetry Company

One of the primary questions we ought to be asking is, "Why is there no American company bidding on the huge ports contract?" Or, here's another question that has escaped NBC news reporters: "Have you noticed that Lary Bloom, quite the opportunist, has made plans to start his own company, Bloom Ports World and Poetry Company?"

Yes, and I intend, once I have established it, to underbid Dubai Ports World. That state-owned company is willing to run six of our ports for something like 70 billion dollars. I, however, have a plan to run these ports for 69.7 billion, saving, if I am correct, enough money to buy whole bunches of Girl Scout cookies.

If there are those out there who would like to support this effort, and become fellow investors, do let me know. You may well ask what qualifications I have in this regard. I can only say that I had three grandparents who, about a hundred years ago, came through Ellis Island in containers. You may also want to ask why Poetry is part of the name of the company. That's the security part of the plan. If Bloom Ports World and Poetry Company encounters any suspected terrorists, it will lock them in a container and play recordings of Rod McKuen reading his own work until they all confess.
