Reluctant Buyer's 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 over thought;
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 that 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.
I chose to think and as I thought,
They bought the deals I should have bought.
The golden chances I had then,
Are lost and will not come again.
Today I cannot be enticed
For everything's so overpriced.
The deals of yesteryears are dead;
The Market's soft - - - and so's my head!
At times 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 ! ! !
