Flippety, floppety, my best dot,
First it's green and then it's not.
I took it back, "Hurray!" but when
I turn around it's green again.
Greetings Gentlemen,
Hope you liked my little bit of doggerel. That's about as close to poetry as you're likely to get from me. The point, in case you were wondering, is that we saw six dots flip color this year. Every one of the six changed either FROM green or TO green. What was the final tally for our busy Italian? Four up versus only two down. That makes two on the plus side, which is good enough for him to reclaim the top spot from the Sultan, who seemed content to play for position this year.
