Investing Wisely

 

Investors say

my money should have a plan

should work hard for me

forge a path in the market

compounding, diversifying, hedging

instilling confidence

to skipper that 50 foot yacht

under sail toward bright horizons

steadfast supporter of my dreams

 

But my money is lazy

it slumps down at its desk

failing to pay attention

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

it wants to run away

and join the lottery.

what a great play on words...i see allegory, because i think of a heart or a mind fitting in so nicely with this idea also.
and i can see my muse slumping down at the desk...
and running away...
