To Splurge

Everybody has the urge,
And, though it may be rare, to splurge,
For sometimes needs and wants converge
And giving in’s rewarding.

We’ll treat ourselves to different things,
Depending on the joy it brings,
Despite the fact that certain flings
Are past what we’re affording.

Yet it may still be worth our while
To spend on what will make us smile,
Since there are times to live in style,
But not go overboarding.

I go overboarding only with tv. All I can basically do now is lay around! Love bingeing!
