Price

Everything, be it good or bad in life has a price.
Now if you want your slice, take some advice.

Think twice about rolling the dice. Although it
Could come out nice or it could suffice but oft

Times you get caught in the grip of a vice and
It's far too over priced.

So be wise in what you devise because you may
Have to revise or compromise, whatever the 

Guise, just keep your eyes on the prize. For the
Unexpected has excised many a device thought

Up by men and mice. So be precise, not enticed
If you are lured into a fool's paradise, you'll be

Paying far too high a price.
