My Garden Continues To Grow
I love to see my garden grow.
These are the products of my labor and toil.
My secret garden is my investment portfolio.
These are growing in fertile soil.
I contact my brokers on trading days.
I seriously take their good advice.
Here come the interest and dividends.
Making more money is certainly nice.
From little acorns grow large oaks.
My trees are bearing the sweetest fruit.
Joyce Kilmer would be proud of what I have.
They are strong from the leaves to the root.
Stock, bonds, and treasury bills;
blossom like the prettiest flower.
I hope to continue to live long and prosper.
My net worth is in its finest hour.
