my new Somalian financial adviser

as i watch

the slow gains on my investment

portfolio,

the pitiful

three percent on CDs

and a measly

one percent on a savings

account

and checking, i wonder how

they do it.

the congressmen

and women

in power.

how does a woman from

Somalia

go from zero to 30 million dollars

in her accounts

in a matter

of one year?

i want to call her and ask

for financial advice.

she should be a broker

on wall street, or

at the very least, Edward Jones.

she seems

to be really really smart

or corrupt

beyond imagination.

it has to be one or the other.

let's see if i can

get her on the phone.

hmmm.  

nope,

beep beep beep,

it's disconnected.
