In Search of Sterling

When money was gold, Empire Britannia was strong.
Pound was best, making Britain- Great.
With Second War came debt.
'Pay up!' said Uncle Sam, real quick!
In '49, 30% devaluation came next.
60's, lets devalue.
70's, lets devalue....
Economy had no growth, Empire collapsed.
No more gold, just fiat and The City had passed.
Eurasia to Arabia, we love London finance.
Asia to Africa, LIBOR romance.
Oz and South America, Sqaure Mile-Interbank£$£
Close the mines, City service futures.
It is best service for forward-options-spots.
Lets free up City-Iron Lady this is Big Bang!
20-08 saw the first test.
Lets devalue-lets devalue-like Yen we can outdo the rest.
Forget Ol' Empire, when Britannia Sterling Gold was best.
