Analysis of Delayed Gratification
Ownership on what is owed isn't by possession.
The mortgagor holds a lien to title accession.
Cash as medium of exchange apparently expired.
The plastic cards are to charge for everything desired.
Goods and services purchased by adding to a debt
become a weighty burden and pathway to regret.
A dawn of awakening comes when payments are due.
It's time to pay the piper before large claims accrue.
Money doesn't grow on trees or expeditiously.
Usually it is well earned,acquired judiciously.
Delayed gratification is practically ignored.
Play for now and later pay, every instance afford.
