Investments And Mother In Law Poem by Nikunj Sharma

Investments And Mother In Law

Rating: 5.0


Equities are dead
The streets red
She is so sure
Says, equities no more

She used to call me twice;
Everyday
To tell the feats of stocks
She used to play

In the circle of the friends n kitty parties
She was the best,
Which one to pick
Which one to dropp
She would hit the bulls’ eye
If ever put to test

When things were good
She was a big fish
AND
Warren Buffet – a Name of a dish…

Flowed the wine in the breeze
She spoke of stocks
With so much ease
Prices on her fingertips
Predictions…. On her lips


It was going great, until one day
All fell like house of cards; they say
Little had she known
They could fall, as easily as they had grown

No calls to me now
No brains to rake
During the parties
No claims to take
Prices are down
Please stay away
Equities! ! She says
Nay Nay Nay….

Not for her the cheap stocks
Not for her the boat that rocks
She wants to ride
With the tide
So that she could
Say with pride
I know em all
Like back of my palm
But not today
As markets are calm ….
Let them rise once again, u nerd! ! !
She said, I heard
Who minds being
A part of herd?

My mother in law is great
She shall enter again, a bit late
She shall buy when its time to sell
Play with her money again - hell

Often I ask with awe
Why God created markets
And an investing, Mother in Law?

Great write Nikunj...I like your spirited Mother-in-Law.....she is pretty cool - perhaps a little advice on timing the market would help her immensely! ! !
