Real Estate Lament - Humor

Real Estate Lament - by Donald M. Weill, excerpted from "The Reluctant Investor and Other Light Verse"

I hesitate to make a list Of all the countless deals I've missed; Bonanzas that were in my grip - I watched them through my fingers slip; The windfalls which I Should have bought were lost because I over-thought; I thought of this, I thought of that, I could have sworn I smelled a rat, And while I thought things over twice, Another grabbed them at the price, It seemed I always hesitate, Then make my mind up much too late, Avery cautious man am I And that is why I never buy.
