It's Saturday midnight and I have just COME home from work and hubby has GONE to work.(oh the life of the rat race) I wish I was with the melbournians wining and dining and talking property at the steak-house. I hope you all had a good time. Anyway I came across this little poem and its so darn true.
I hesitate to make a list Of opportunities I've missed, Investments that were in my grip I watched them through my fingers slip, Prime properties I should have bought, were lost because of 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 seems I always hesitate, Then make my mind up much too late. A very cautious man am I And that is why I never buy. I chose to think and as i thought They brought the house I should have bought! The golden chances I had then Are lost and will not come again. Today I cannot be enticed For everything's so overpriced. The deals of yesteryear are dead; The markets soft and so's my head! At times a teardrop drowns my eye I had the chance, but did not buy, And now life's saddest words I pen- IF ONLY I'd DECIDED THEN.
