You Sooze; You Lose

Today's idiom has an added benefit. It rhymes. Even though it is usually said as a criticism or admonishment, it can make it sound lighter or a bit fun.

You snooze; you lose is really very simple.  You waited too long to act, so you were unsuccessful.  It can also mean that you weren't paying attention, so you missed your opportunity.
