The Cap had a lot going on in his head, So he just lay thinking when he went to bed.
“Our planet is warming, and it’s getting worse, there must be a way, for this to reverse.”
So The Cap went out to look for solutions: “I’m sure I’ve seen them, they can’t be illusions?”
The Cap ran and crawled, walked and stumbled, finally he came across a house and mumbled:
"Who lives in this house, and may I enter?" "Well yes" said a voice, "we’re here in the center"
The Cap peeked in and saw a mighty mess, but the folks inside didn't seem to stress
"He started it" one said, and pointed a finger, the other stood still and seemed to linger.
"He
made all this mess and now I'm affected" "Sundays I help", the other corrected.
They talked and discussed for hours and days Time was an issue so they had to find ways.
The Cap was amazed and couldn’t keep his mouth shut, He said: the situation is urgent, we need to hurry up!
Sundays are good but this is more recent, an old agreement cannot make this mess decent
He fixed the problem and they could have fun But his work wasn’t over, he was far from done.

A Robin Hood tax would affect a wide range of asset classes, Including the purchase and sale of stocks, bonds, commodities, unit trusts, mutual funds, and derivative masses

So now shake hands and rebuild the trust, something deep inside me say that we must
The fund needs filling so they sat down to agree A good decision process the Cap got to see

He checked in on the fund and was about to drop, he could hardly believe it, it was filled to the top!
