"Inflation, hey Jane"
Yeah, Joe, everything has gone up in cost
Today I was going to purchase some stars, but they've become pricey"
"What are you talking about, Jane?
I know the ego's nature is greed and ownership
Amongst many of its unholy traits
But since when have you been able to purchase stars?"
"Joe, I'm not speaking about midnight's scintillating delight
I'm referring to purchasing stars on a renowned poetry site"...
"And what do these stars do, Jane?"
"Well, it's like when the sun rises to light up a new day
It illuminates the poem, uplifting it, so they say"
"So basically, you're telling me the poets have to pay?"
"Yes, Joe, you could put it that way!"
"So what are your options, Jane?"
"Unfortunately, I will have to be more frugal with stars, Joe"
"Well, no worries, Jane, that seems the only way to go!"..
