Bear Essentials

Bear Essentials
by Mary E. Gerdt

Bear Essentials, The market's down,
We hope for more as we gripe and frown,
And wonder where all our money went,
That we know could have been better spent.

Bear essentials, They are big beasts,
Slow to move, quick to feast,
Oily, slippery lovable pets,
They turn on you, they cause regrets,

Of staying long when you should have gone short,
Of thinking fighting bear is a simple sport,
Because bears lay around until in a start,
They rear up and bite you and tear you apart.

They might sleep in winter but are known to awake,
Be careful it's not of you they partake.

Bear essentials, supply and demand
and fear makes the market,
Hang in if you can.

Bear essentials, the beast will need rest,
Then bring on the bull,
Get us out of this mess!

Best wishes on you portfolio. Hey, who robbed it anyway?
