Economic Blues

Got a letter from the IRS,

It said my taxes were a mess.

The lights went out yesterday,

Another bill I could not pay.

They say the market has gone up,

So drop a Nickel in my cup. 

The grocery store is a sight,

Raising prices overnight.

A new truck costs fifty thou,

Checked the sticker, had a cow.

Bought some gas yesterday,

That nozzle drained half my pay.

It’s hot as hell with no A/C,

Trickle Down don’t work for me.

My bank says I am overdrawn,

Don’t know where the money’s gone.

They say there’s work if you can,

Learn to be a Repo Man.

My Doctor gives me no assurance.I

I can’t afford health insurance. 

God help me if I get sick,

Food or meds? How do I pick?

I hope you all are doing well,

I/ve got some organs I must sell.
