Over and Under

When we over think
We under achieve.
When we over look, 
We under mine.

When we over talk,
We under appreciate,
When we overstate,
We under estimate.

When we overprint,
We underwrite.
When we overlay,
We under pin.

When we over produce,
We under use.
When we over use,
We under produce.

When we over stock,
We under cut.
When we over price,
We under sell.

When we over protect,
We under value.
When we over view,
We under stand.
