I remember at primary school ,the teacher had loads of toys/ games/sweets to distribute :
the method was to be an auction !
Out came the cardboard money, shared out equally.

The auction started , wild bidding from my fellow pupils ensued for the first lots.
Clever me decided to save my cash and watch the mayhem.

Sure enough, soon everyone's skint except me and one other kid ; and there's still a pile of stuff , Including a tasty car racing set.

The teacher notices this , and also that her favourite pupils are skint , and so she hands out the money she's taken again to the poor kids .
Result - I ended getting far less stuff than the other kids and no fast cars .

So I learned 2 things at school :
1 That life aint fair and
2 If you have money spend it as fast as possible .
