Frugality

The frugal individual may

Oft be viewed as miserly

Up to the brink of stinginess

When point and place are misconstrued.

 

Truth be known, frugality may be

A precious asset with the

Value of economy

Meticulously viewed.

 

This I want and that I need,

But these I can’t afford.

So, I must skimp and scrape and save

To claim my just reward.

 

Then, just when I have reached my goal

So resolutely gleaned,

Some unexpected crisis comes along

To smash my dream.

 

So, I shall strive to live in thrift

And stash my cache away

And let it grow

For no one knows

When comes that rainy day.
