Carl Icahn's Anti-Dell Tweet Inspired A CNBC Reporter To Tweet A Whole Dell Poem

If you haven't been keeping up with the saga at Dell, the gist of the matter was encapsulated in this one tweet, posted by billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn last week:

Icahn's tweet inspired more anti-Dell poetry in the form of a Haiku from CNBC's Guy Adami:

To recap: Icahn is duking it out with the Dell's founder CEO Michael Dell who is trying to take the company private for $13.75/share.

Icahn has offered shareholders an opposing deal, one that keeps the company public, buys 1.1 billion shares at $14.00 each and gives them an option to buy more shares via something called a warrant. That warrant promises them that for every four shares held, investors will get an option to buy more shares at $20.00 each within the next seven years.

Naturally, Micheal Dell is fighting Icahn and has even asked the board to change the rules on how the stock vote is counted to help him win.

The shareholder vote has been pushed back a couple of times and is now scheduled for Friday. If shareholders prefer Icahn's plan, they would replace the entire board, including Michael Dell, with a team selected by the Icahn faction.

In the meantime, Icahn has been speaking out about Dell, sometimes with frustration and sometimes with humor.
