Inflation, I tell you. Back in my day, happiness was a stuffed bear, Or finishing an ice cream before it melted down your arm. And you came back with change. Now it takes a life loan, entire people involved. Might as well cost a first-born. I hear they make it over-seas now, for pennies a day, But I'm sure not paying any less for it. Maybe if they subsidised it, like a good government, I could afford three square smiles a day. Hell, one would be nice. I'll just have to work a second job To afford being able to afford things. That **** inflation, Always driving up the price.
