off to market...

do you ooze of on paper abundance
is your portfolio’s percentage maxed
are your coffers full by happenstance
with laundered capital gains minimally taxed

insiders know the bounce of the ticker
institutions buy and sell to manipulate
fund managers sell you the price on the sticker
but for you and me its usually too late

the art of moving money around
is not for the purpose to awe and astound
for its best to do so with little fanfare
cuz if your caught
make sure you pack clean underwear

joseph kennedy once said many decades ago
when the common man gets into the game
it’s time for me to blow
I’d rather make barrels of illegal liquor
than to rub elbows with also-rans
engaged with the ticker
