As sure as two and two make four
the steak I bought at grocery store
for ump-teen and a half a pound
will on sale tomorrow be found !

For don't it always work like so
scrimp,save,clip your coupons,go.
Like buying stocks at all time "lows"
to watch them tank ( like flush, yanno?)

There must be some unwritten rule
that isn't taught in any school
in any nation world-wide
that me, from money, will divide !

P.T.Barnum did the math
the sum of which is my epitaph
"Here lies Doc now underground ,
the best Damn deal he ever found !"

Boy, do I ever know what you mean. If I buy something today, it goes on sale tomorrow. And my stocks always seem to go down, even when I think I'm buying a rock bottom bargain!! lol. Great write Doc. I enjoyed this very much. Many true words spoken

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

ROTFLMAO, at your poem, which except for the steak part, could be my epitaph as well. No matter how I shop, the best deal is always the one I just missed.

OMG, is that my problem with men too???????
