Not Even For Young Jim Poem by Francis Duggan

Not everything in life does go to plan
Not even for young Jim the clever man
In his recent shares investment he thought he was on to a good thing
That a huge financial profit to him it would bring
But the value of his shares decreased overnight
And now his future not looking so bright
Life has it's good and bad seems true to say
He is not a very happy man today
Yesterday one of the happiest in the town
But for every up in life there is a down
Today if he sold his shares he would take a huge financial loss
Seems like he will not become his own boss
As he had planned to do at least now not for some while
Young Jim today does not feel the urge to smile.
