Investing Wisely

Investors say

my money should have a plan

should work hard for me

marching into the market

compounding, reinvesting, hedging

but my money is lazy

it slumps down at its desk

like a day dreaming student

at the back of the class

late at night

when it thinks I'm not looking

I can tell

my money

verges on the irresponsible

that it wants to run away

and join the lottery.
