There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around
That the team from old Exco had got a deal,
And had joined with Xstrata - this would mean a special franked divy,
So all the traders had gathered to the fray.
All the tried and noted traders from the stations near and far
Had mustered at the screen overnight,
For the super funds love a bargain when a franked dividend is near,
And the dealers snuffs the battle with delight.
