''Blue Light Special''
there's a special going on
If you miss the next announcement
you'll arrive and find it's gone
There's a giveaway next weekend
carry out what you can hold
But alas your arms are empty
for it seems you were not told
High's the price you pay for wisdom
in life's inconvenience store
Friends' advice are like free coupons
for they've paid full price before
Closed I was to friends' suggestions
of another way to be
I was stuck paying full retail
for what I could have gotten free
I was stubborn for a while
no love nor logic could convince
Then I took their words to heart
and life's been special ever since!
Offer friends your blue light specials
share your wisdom and advice
Some will thank you for the discount
some will choose to pay full price...
