There's one word we hate all across the nation

I'ts on every body lips the cursed word inflation

Many times the shelves are bare of supplies

But when they come back the prices seem to rise

It used to be a dollar for my breakfast glazed

Yesterday it was up to two I really was amazed

Each week we get shocked when we go to the mart

And walk out an hour later with half a shopping cart

You have to pay more for oranges spuds and figs

And bacon is so expensive it would pay to raise pigs

Because of rising prices less eggs and sausages are frying

There's loads of ice-cream left because people are not buying

Some families are not buying steaks just ingredients for stew

Yet I notice most carts have at least one six pack of brew

How are we going to survive people worry and fret?

Some are paying for food with credit cards increasing debt

There was only supposed to be one raise at the pump

Some people blame Biden and wish they still had Trump

In coming months people will walk not use the automobile

And in the resteraunts no more happy meal

The charges are much more at the electric meter

The middle class will go broke buying oil for the heater

If you think the prices are coming down you are out of luck

Even the dollar stores added a quarter on to the buck

For us old folks on fixed incomes this is truly insane 

But do those in power listen as we loudly complain
