Ain'T Life Grand

As the years go quickly by, I wonder what and even why? What’s the point to all of this? Age is not always a happiness. It brings along a lot of pain. Caused by yesteryears bumps and other things. The candy you take now are pills. You sell your house to pay your bills. The clothes you wear are out of date. Everything you eat puts on more weight. You can’t afford to drive your car. At least ways not for very far, Gasoline is way too high, What has happened I wonder why? I’m not the smartest man alive, But I know one and four are five. Why do prices keep going up and up? I can’t afford the coffee that is in my cup. Will there be a limit on what we spend? Or are prices just like a hole you can’t fill in? I think enough is past enough, We’re sick of all the lies and stuff. Like a five thousand dollar rebate on a new car. That tells me we’ve gone too far. Are we as stupid as we look? A page in somebody’s funny book? I think I really need a break. Find a place that is give not take. Well now I feel somewhat better. After writing this nasty letter. Well what I have I give with love. If you’ll get behind my car and shove. To the gas station just up the hill, Where I can spend my last one hundred dollar bill.
