Critical Perspectives on Accounting 17 (2006) 882

The winter of our investments Wild men, Widows, Teachers, Teamsters, Bears, Bulls. None avoid that long farewell To current cash flow: Retirement. Emulate the tortoise, Shun the hare. Delay gratification, Personify patience. Nurture the nest egg: Fiscal restraint. Anticipate pensioned paradise, Unfurl that rainy day umbrella. Yield of forsaken fiduciary trust Tattered fabric and twisted spines. Naught remains but descent: Unfunded abyss. Treasurers, Trustees, Accountants, Actuaries, Bankers, Brokers. Price of betrayal is disgrace. From pin-stripes to prison-stripes: Shame. Diane Roberts
