There is a magic phrase that can attract
Crowds in the very blink of an eye
It is an oft-demonstrated, time-tested fact
That no one can resist its lure under the sky-
“Free stuff” is what I’m talking about
It is highly valuable because it is free
Most people grab a freebie without any doubt
Irrespective of its actual value or utility…
The shrewd businessman has figured this out
And drops the word “free” in places strategic
Adding freebies to things you can do without
So you rush to buy them, influenced by the “free” magic.
The ice-cream maker gathering dust in a corner
Bought because sugar cones were offered free
Did not find a use for it through summer
(The sugar cones, though, were a different story!)

Everything free too comes at a price
No truly free lunches are ever found
To recognize the hidden cost is wise
Will save you some disappointment around!
