80 Tokens Only?

80 tokens is all I get, that's my weekly quota, 
If I exhaust by creating stupid memes, can't move further an iota.
The coding project gets held up, till I pay the price and resume,
That a higher tier gives infinite tokens, is it too much to presume? 
 
80 k hours is my whole work life, so say men of note,
10 k hrs takes to build expertise, another 10 k for my moat.
The tap of time will run dry soon, there's not an hour I can waste,  
There's more to life than querying LLMs, and indulging in copy paste.
 
80 k tokens they can regurgitate fast, as a novelist I simmer slow,
800 words is max I can craft, in a day if I'm in a state of flow.
But what about when I'm writing poems, cause 80 tokens is all I get,
Need to compress my vulnerability within it, and feelings of readers whet. 
 
80 tokens is all you get, that's the average lifespan,
Spend each as if it's your last one, you'll not be able to renew, O man!
