At Least I Wasnt Hungry

When we sat down at the table
I didn’t have a hunch
It would be thirty-four dollars
To have a bite of lunch

My wife had eggs and bacon,
And I had chips with pork
For thirty-four dollars
I should have snagged a fork

I guess I’m getting old
Inflation’s getting real
I guess I really miss my
Seven dollar meals

But no, most live in denial. Great poem, Jeff! I feel your pain. No more restaurants for me. I don’t want to leave the house either. Gas prices? Nope. Have everything delivered.
