PRIDE IN MY POCKET....
BOUGHT THE PLOT.....
PLANTED MY SEEDS....
AND PATIENTLY HELPED MY PRIDE TO GROW
GROW, AND GROW....

NOTHING BUT FULL MATURITY
IN THIS FIELD OF PRIDE ACCEPTED....
SHAPED, INTO THE BEST POSSIBLE
RISE AND SHINE TO THE OCCASION.

NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOOT FORWARD....
EVERY STEP TO THE MAX!
HOW ELSE IS ANYTHING BUT SUCCESS MEASURED BY....

ANY AND ALL LESS THAN PERFECT PRIDE IN THE MAKING, MARKS
*FAILURE*
IN NEON LIGHTS OVERHEAD....
THIS IS WHERE FAILURE GROWS AND MULTIPLIES!!

HERE! HERE!!
FAILURE FOR SALE
ALL AT THE BEST POSSIBLE FAILURE PRICES!
A MUST TO GO!!

BOUGHT ALL THE RIGHTS,
WHY NOT USE IT
WHENEVER THE OCCASION ARISES!
AFTER ALL....IT'S PAID IN FULL!!

T'S A CASE OF USE IT OR LOOSE IT!
WHY WASTE THAT
WHICH YOU HAVE GIVEN SO MUCH TIME
AND TIME TO GROW....
AND THE DIVIDENTS JUST GROWS AND GROWS....
EVERY HARVEST BETTER THAN THE ONE BEFORE!

AND THE PRIZE IS....
PRIDE  IN MY POCKET....

SOMETIMES AT A PRICE
COSTLY
AND DEAR TO LOSS.......
