The Cost of Life seemed rarely Worth the Price

The Cost of Life seemed rarely Worth the Price
And as I Paid it seemed quite Poorly Spent
Now, Looking Back, would gladly Tender Twice

A World of Free Rides looks on face So Nice
Imagine Drifting through Without a Cent
The Cost of Life seemed rarely Worth the Price

Variety – Which sprinkles on The Spice
I long eschewed lest sale would mean REPENT
Now, Looking Back, would gladly Tender Twice

If something asked for Heat, I Ran for Ice
For “status quo” I labored with Intent
The Cost of Life seemed rarely Worth the Price

Oh, Things Arose, and my, did They Entice
In trepidation Tasted, Sent the Rent
Now, Looking Back, would gladly Tender Twice

And here, with Hairs of Gray, I Roll the Dice
No fear of Snake Eyes Landing in Dissent
The Cost of Life seemed rarely Worth the Price
Now, Looking Back, would gladly Tender Twice
