our utility costs are getting
well out of hand
to pay for them you need
more than a grand
last week my electricity bill
came in the mail
and the amount on it
near made my heart fail
never do we get any respite
from the ever risings bills
they're hitting us in the pocket
with few happy thrills
utility accounts frighten
consumers everywhere
wallets and satchels
are feeling the despair
soon we'll be going back
to the days of candles and lamps
as they are more cost effective
for us to use in our camps
modern day living
is so outrageously dear
the dollars we're forking out
fill our limited finances with much fear
