Making a Purchase
When you’re making a purchase
And there is a choice,
Do you settle or wait for
That yes-that’s-it! voice?
There are some who don’t care
And will buy the first thing,
Even if it is lacking
That makes-you-smile zing.
Yet others (like me) tend to
Wait for that spark,
Knowing much of what’s out there
Is missing the mark.
But the problem with waiting
Is that a delay
Could extend way beyond
What a snap judgment may.
In the meantime, you’re stuck with
An outdated couch
(Or whatever) and everyone
Thinks you’re a slouch.
If you settle or wait,
Either way it’s okay
For it’s deeply embedded
In your DNA.
