David Kavanagh Poet Rhyme

A Mean Business

Spend a bit extra 
receive a little more 
In life’s cutthroat sale
and thrifty superstores

No free dinners
It’s all in your head 
For each slice gained
the rest gets no bread 

Gives back a cent 
keeping all the rest 
Huge ponzi schemes 
pay crumbs as interest 

Always leave tips 
they go a long way 
Bosses can pay less 
and make tons of hay 

Mark these words
or use a highlighter 
By omitting fullstops 
save ink for the writer

David Kavanagh

Tom David Kavanagh January 17, 2023 at 11:44 AM Sure would Tom, and totally devalue the currency market, but a bit extra for the workers would go a long way methinks, cheers David
