Hindsight

It somehow seemed safe to depend on The stock my life savings I’d spent on Till a scandalous crash Left me broke in a flash— I wish I’d bought Apple, not Enron. --- Written 22 Dec 2018 for the Tax and Finance Limerick contest sponsored by Carolyn Devonshire Male

Wow! Your limerick is awesome, Ed. That Enron scandal was too much. Apple would have been a better choice :) Congratulations on your first-place win! Please send me a Soup mail with an address where I can send your prize. Best wishes, Carolyn

Thank you so much, Carolyn; will do! (And don't worry, I didn't actually own any Enron stock. :-) )
