Portfolio

I look at my portfolio;
It makes me want to hurl.
For one day, all is calm and fine;
The swine then eats the pearl!
I do not mean to sound complaint
Like some great oafish churl,
But ups and downs like these of late?
My stomach flops and twirls.
I think that I may now know why;
I’m going to take a whirl:
The market tracks the hormones of
A thirteen-year-old girl!

(chuckling) I know exactly what you mean, Jeff. The only way I can deal with it is to simply not look at my portfolio! That's why I recently took "a whirl!" Good, revealing writing.
