We've got Prices doing Flips,
from Gas to Eggs and Beef Tips.
Got Milk but not to pass it On,
for 3.99 a gallon is long Gone.
Wonder where all the money Goes,

& my Wallet is Rip from inside the Zip,
like Houdini cashed out to go on a Trip.

vacation Cruises on luxurious Ships.
Booking rooms in hotels 5 Star,
Skip the lobby got a personal Bar.

I finally see what the old folks Meant,
way more month after the money is Spent.

With Tariffs levied on Import and Export,

from Working class to Blue Collars.

& the job is harder for a little to Earn.
Plus these days a hundred dollar Bid,
goes much faster than any 20 ever Did.
All because:
