I Keep My Best Advice To Myself Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If I had a dime,
For those times...
I did not take my own advice,
I'd be up at least a dollar.
At least.

'That doesn't make sense.
You're saying you take your own advice,
Most of the time.'

Exactly.
The problem is this...
The people I use to give it to,
Have no clue as to its value.

And I am very protective,
Of my own investments.

That's why I keep my best advice,
To myself these days.
And somebody owes me some money,
To have it kept that way.

No more freebees!
Not here.
