A Fist Full of L$s

For a fist full of lindens
I invested in a bank;
I watched my portfolio
As its value tanked.

For a few lindens more
My nest egg I had nesting;
Gambling’s not illegal
If you call it all ‘investing’.

Good, bad and ugly,
The levels jumped around
Until the virtual line
Hit the virtual ground.

I climbed a virtual building
And took a virtual dive;
I landed on my head
But I’m still alive.

Now that I am broke
My friends all hit the road;
But next month will be different-
I bought another load.
