YET

YET

A last stock to complete the set
This broker and I were well-met
A modest return, but better yet

There will be many others I bet
With investment decisions to vet
All with their appetites to whet

Yet now I do blame the internet
Was what happened just Kismet
Caught in a share dealing racket

So, here’s me drowning in debt
And I’m now caught in the net
Of course it has made me upset

It’s a situation I will never forget
All I do now is to worry and fret
Should I search for a room to let
