Avarice
Sometimes less is more.
I had a velvet scrunchy,
I took it everywhere,
And I could always find it,
When I tidied up my hair.
I loved that velvet scrunchy,
It was perfect for me,
So next time I went shopping,
Got another a set of three.
One went in my handbag,
Another in a drawer.
I hung one in the bathroom,
On the hook behind the door.
I had one in my pocket,
At least I did the other day,
But now I just can’t find it,
Seems it must have slipped away.
And the one from the bathroom,
Is no longer on the hook,
I’m annoyed I just can’t find it,
No matter where I look.
I went to tie my hair up,
Getting ready for a run,
Since I got the extra scrunchies,
I can’t find a single one.
So, the moral of this story,
Is sometimes less is more,
I only need one scrunchy,
I don’t need four.
