Wow, what a bargain.
Surely I can do something,
At this price,
With a stack of crocodile heads.

Now I can afford them.
An opportunity lost if I walk away.
Wait until my friends hear
About the deal I made.

Happily the small voice of reason
Crawls from the swamp
Of my desire for a deal
Before I get these beauties home.

Sometimes there is a bargain
That is best passed up.
Unless, of course,
They lower the price again!
