Exponential

Young Paty was a star and underpaid
and along came her day to request a raise,
but her boss Old Gray was cheap as they come
and when it came to deals, he wasn't dumb.
Well Paty had a plan, she'd start with a buck.
Old Gray wouldn't think it looked like much,
but with a two growth factor, a modest base,
a harmless little raise wouldn't be the case.

She walked to that office with a big wide smile,
her clever new plan would be put to trial.
She thought of her future as a billionaire
with stacks of money left to spare.

A buck on this square is all I ask for pay
as long as you double it every day.
In a month you can stop, now Mr. Gray,
I'm the best that you've got so what do you say?

Surely you want more, you're my best employee.
I'm happy with this raise, I'm not greedy,
is what Paty said standing with a smirk.
So they signed that deal, it was off to the clerk.
A great day to celebrate especially
now that her net worth would grow exponentially.

She walked out that office with a big wide smile
and a signed contract, that deal was final.
In one short month she'd be a billionaire
singing 'bout that day when she did declare.

A buck on this square is all I ask for pay
as long as you double it every day.
In a month you can stop, now Mr. Gray,
sign our deal at the top, I'll be on my way.

When Gray signed the deal he didn't know
that Young Paty's bank account would exponentially grow.
What he thought was a measly meaningless raise
would soon support Paty for the rest of her days.
It turns out growth factor's not a joke
as Old Gray now feared he might go broke.

He walked out that office with a big wide frown,
scared his fortune would be run to the ground.
His days were numbered as a billionaire
while Paty sang aloud for all to hear.

A buck on this square is all I ask for pay
as long as you double it every day.
In a month you can stop, now Mr. Gray,
I'm the best that you've got so what do you say?

A buck on this square is all I ask for pay
as long as you double it every day.
In a month you can stop, now Mr. Gray,
sign our deal at the top, I'll be on my way.

Gray can lie, he can cry, he can try to deny
but a billion next month was a buck today.
He'll take Advil for his headache to go away
and hope for a slow exponential decay.
