Sold All of Our Shares

Sold All of Our Shares 

Was a message for me that she had texted
And not award of what would happen next
About horrible Stock Market we were having
For sure, no one seemed to be laughing.

Values wend downward inch by each inch
And you had felt like you were in a pinch
As to which way to go and what to do
Were losing all of our money this is true.

Wonder what my advisor would think
Should in some other stocks money sink
We could have tried to be like a cool cat
And continue staying where you were at.

Miracles are in minds of politicians now
What we have to do is get by somehow
And never could find anyone who cares
So went out and sold all of our shares.
