Prime Cut

I hope you know
That there's more than more enough,
That you don't have to settle for anything less.
You don't have to scrape by
On a leftover or two
That the universe put back in the fridge for you.
You don't have to wait for hand me downs
Or sloppy seconds in cut rate liquor gowns.
You deserve the prime of the pendulums cache.
So leave that half eaten snow cone in the trash,
And if you want something from this life,
Order it up for yourself
And pay the price.
And don't be mad if someone doesn't leave enough over
For you to scrounge,
And don't be a stingy lover.

But live big and love large, my friend,
For who'll be there to count it in the end?
And in 100 years who'll be around
To brag on all the half-price deals you found?
