Rebalancing the world

Hooray and three cheers 
for the FTSE All World Index. 
Look lively, 
early start 
it's rebalancing on Monday.

Index of indexes, 
mighty amongst mightiest. 
In acknowledgement 
markets respond globally
to this statistics announcement.

One step back in the business cycle 
followed by three steps forward 
for the shrewd. 
The cake keeps getting bigger 
even if the distribution is skewed. 

Despite our best efforts, 
we have failed to fail -
surely we are blessed? 
The existence of the index itself 
is testament to humanity's success. 

So, fix up and get it right. 
Early start, 
look lively.
The whole world needs rebalancing 
on Monday!
