        Ernie Barsamian, chief executive of storage brokerage The Tank Tiger, in a note to clients wrote a poem:

        “We all agree that Yahoo Messenger was the natural habitat/For traders to discuss whether the market was volatile or flat…/Now Yahoo thinks they are the windshield and we are the gnat.”

        ---------------------------------------------------------

        Ernie Barsamian, chief executive of The Tank Tiger, even wrote an untitled poem encouraging his contacts to move from Yahoo Messenger to Intercontinental Exchange’s ICE Instant Messaging.

        Once upon a time there was Yahoo Messenger Chat
        And everyone in the oil biz bantered there tit-for-tat,
        Scheduling barges, pricing deals, fighting like dog and cat
        Then you’d settle down, make a deal and become a diplomat

        I mean, everyone had a Yahoo IM, even Linda Ronstadt
        Whether you’re pulling for a Republican, or Hillary the Democrat
        We all agree that Yahoo Messenger was the natural habitat
        For traders to discuss whether the market was volatile or flat

        One day, Marissa Mayer decided to take her turn at bat
        And the bling bling bling IM spun around and just went splat
        Now Yahoo thinks they are the windshield and we are the gnat
        They had thousands of subscribers, one would think they were fat

        But we’re just victims once again of some insensitive bureaucrat
        No such things as a free lunch (or instant messenger) was the caveat
        Now I’m just a storage broker, by no means a technocrat
        But when a company like Yahoo is this stupid, I don’t need a thermostat

        What was once a novelty, Yahoo IM, a whole trading industry it begat
        But Marissa Mayer abandoned us like old underwear at a laundromat
        Without much for us to do, or a line in the sand to combat
        The oil industry will not be some thoughtless technology executive’s doormat

        This will be another of Yahoo’s bonehead decisions, mark that down as a stat
        Have no fear my friends, for ICE messenger is the solution to all of that
        I’ve already made the change, it’s seamless and no data to format
        To go from Yahoo to ICE you need not be computer expert or acrobat

        I made the migration and all of my groups and contacts are in ICE, down pat
        It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3 – now I’m sitting back with an Ice cold Blue from LaBatt
