The Sideways Shuffle
The numbers waffle,
Not great, not awful;
The signs are cloudy,
Not weak, not rowdy;
This market’s driving me nuts.
Some hail a new booming,
Nirvana is looming;
While others discover,
A place vultures hover;
All stuck in their own chosen ruts.
Those wishing to fatten
On stocks need a pattern.
It’s not worth the tussle,
When stocks sideways shuffle,
No profits are likely to gush.
I’ve tried hard reflection,
I want a direction;
Refry it, I’ll try it,
I’ll buy it and fly it;
Just let me get back that old rush.
