When to Replace

When to replace something 
Which will expire
Is a question all homeowners face.
Is it better to wait 
‘Til a problem comes up
In the item you need to replace…

Or perhaps it makes sense,
When that item is old,
To just ditch it and buy something new.
If it works but you’ve had it
A really long time, then
You know what’s the right thing to do.

It’s a gamble to hope that 
Your item will last 
For if suddenly, it starts to break,
You must deal with the consequence
And chalk it up
To a classic homeowner’s mistake.
