The purchasing is natural.
People buy things to realize
what they value,
and what they don’t .
Sometimes, people buy things to realize
the value of their aspirations.
Some aspirations are more valuable than others.
*
Take, Joan.
She knows her worth, and yours.
Take Peggy.
She wears her wealth on her sleeve
But, Don. Don, doesn’t have aspirations.
He’s his own engineer.
He lives the dream.
*
Everyone is late for everything,
but Don is exactly where he wants to be.
Now, you’ll ruin your makeup. Pull yourself together.
There, there. He can’t please every woman,
but, that sure would be swell.
