Expiration Date
There is an expiration date for mostly everything.
There is a permutation fate
for any quotient ring.
There is an expiration date for cheese and caviar.
There is an antiquation fate
for blue-collar and czar.
There is an expiration date for doing time and jail.
There is a liquidation fate
for big auction and sale.
There is an expiration date for ale and bathtub gin.
There is a gravitation fate
for body parts and skin.
There is an expiration date for safe refuge and wild.
There is a separation fate
for suckle feed and child.
There is an expiration date for high-living and taste.
There is a dissipation fate
for decadence and waste.
