À la carte
over
all you can eat
anytime,

A handful
over
plentiful
no questions asked,

Hope
over
certainty
no strings attached,

Quality old
over
cheap new
no second thoughts,

Avalanche rolling
over
thin-ice skating
to the bottom,

Kindness
over
rightfulness
on repeat,

Flood
over
drought
if extreme must.
