Every Little Bit

He got a little here; he got a little there,
Gradually acquiring what he got.            
Several times a little is quite a bit,
And many times a little is a lot.
                                                  
He spent a little here; he spent a little there.
Never utilizing what he bought.
Several times a little is sufficient,
But plenty minus plenty is a nought.
