no pain, no gain’s

a common phrase

& intimates

the trade-off pays

a tit for tat

in fair exchange

since tat for tits

is lingerie.

& GR8 tho

lace is

it can’t replace this

axiom enduring…

as hard-won ends

are better than

the given—

while assuring

you can

achieve

the things you please

with studied application

’cause fortitude’s

an

~attitude~

& basis of GR8•ation.
