The Consumer's Lament
The Consumer’s Lament

The best things in life are free,
but inflation makes a fool of me;
all those donations of yesterday
are gone and I am forced to pay
for the same, but it’s now been bottled
by some fool who should have been throttled,
and the freebies remaining on offer
come with extras that empty my coffers.
