We invest in things
It's a big decision
It's insurance for our future
Investing is a good thing
I invested once
I put everything in one place
And I knew it was safe
For a time it was
Then that place closed
It died, in a way
Irreparably and at a loss

Eternally optimistic
That maybe this time
My investment would be safe
I was wrong again
That place closed as well
It was partly my fault
I lost more then than the first time
I grew sick of investing
I took what little I had left
And I hid it somewhere safe
The proverbial shoebox under the bed
I'm hoping it will be safe
