Late to the party
Better late than never, what?
Serious minds await
I wrote some Haikus
All were unpublishable
This one escaped. How?
Once read Peter Lynch
Then stumbled upon Bogle
Somehow not Lynchhead
“Live below your means”
Ready made for a Haiku?
Buy the market. Done.
Yes there is some more
You can learn it all here well
Who you gonna call?
Bogleheads (indeed)
Highly educational
Enduring and fun
