tesco's best day

at last we have a quarter,
and one that is correct,
they will so want to alter,
my sympathy they wont ever detect.
we are all now wise,
its as common as in every street,
to sell and control everything was your exercise,
that's what makes the fall so sweet.
today your shares fell,
16% is a lovely figure,
like for like sales were down 2.3% in hell,
a smile from me it did trigger.
you are still to co?ky,
as you predict a profit that is minimal,
just like in your stores, times are rocky,
knocking you from no1 is so winnable.
5.2% rise in total group sales is good,
January is under way with nothing strange,
and with a new manager in charge of your hood,
you said yourself sales will be at the low end of the consensus range.
you feel "investment" in stores will occur,
also the hiring of more staff,
personally i feel you have left a arrogant blur,
and that's why your customers are having the last laugh.
