They say the worst is over
And consumer prices dipped
Thanks to all their spending
We have got inflation whipped
The Beltway Boys are cheering
Yes, they’re really getting rowdy
But I think I have to tell them
That their crystal ball is cloudy
They say it doesn’t matter
The direction things are going
As long as you appreciate
The rate of rise is slowing
They promise higher spending
Will improve things two more pegs
If you want to make an omelet
Then we’ll have to break more eggs
You know they’re talking nonsense
It’s time that we ignored them
Of course, I’d like to break some eggs
It’s just, I can’t afford them
I can’t go to the Dollar Store
The way I did before
As nothing I can buy there
Costs a dollar anymore
Costco had a special
On some halibut and bass
I wanted to drive over
But I couldn’t afford the gas
I don’t know a soul
Who likes the way that we’ve been taken
Have you seen the price of housing?
Have you seen the price of bacon?
I’m just a lowly poet
You don’t want to hear from me
But even lowly poets know
That energy is key
If on Green New Deal Solutions
Bidenomic hopes are pinned
They don’t care about inflation
They’re just spitting in the wind
