Reluctant Buyers Lament

I cannot take credit for this, one of our agents, Christian Sherbert, gave it to me, and I think you will like it.

Reluctant Buyers Lament

I hesitate to make a list

Of all the countless deals I've missed

Bonanzas that were in my grip

I watched them through my fingers slip;

The windfalls which I should have bought

Were lost because I overthought;

I thought of this, I thought of that

I could have sworn I smelled a rat,

And while I thought things over twice,

Another grabbed them at the price.

It seems I always hesitate,

Then make my mind up much too late.

A very cautious man am I

And that is why I never buy.

The golden chances I had then

Are lost and will not come again.

Today I cannot be enticed

For everything is overpriced.

The deals of yesteryears are dead;

The market's soft and so's my head!

At time a teardrop drowns my eye

For deals I had, but did not buy;

And now life's saddest words I pen --

IF ONLY I'D DECIDED THEN!!!!!!!
