My Investment

I hesitate to make a LIST
Of all the countless opportunities I've MISSED;
Bonanzas that were in my GRIP
I watched them through my fingers SLIP

The windfalls that i should have BOUGHT
Were lost because I OVERTHOUGHT;
I thought of this, I thought of THAT
I could have swore I smelled a RAT;
And while I thought things over TWICE
Another grabbed them at the PRICE

It seems I always HESITATE
And make my mind up much too LATE;
A very cautious man am I
And that is why I never BUY

When others culled those sprawling FARMS
And welcomed contracts with open ARMS;
I chose to think and while I THOUGHT
They brought the deals I could have BOUGHT

The golden chances I had THEN
Today I cannot be ENTICED
For everything's so OVERPRICED

At times a teardrop drowns my eyes
For opportunities I had but did not BUY
And now life's saddest words I PEN....
"If only i'd invested THEN!"
