VALUE VS. PRICE 
Don’t try to buy a thing too cheap 
From those with things to sell- 
Because the goods you’ll have to keep, 
And time will always tell. 
The price you paid you’ll soon forget, 
The goods you got will stay; 
The price you’ll not long regret- 
The quality you may. 
They ought to cut this “price” out 
Of dictionaries red, 
Make value what men talk about. 
Not just the price instead. 
Regardless of the kind of goods, 
Remember this advice; 
D on’t let the price control the goods, 
But goods control the price.
