IT'S SIMPLE, SIMON

IT’S SIMPLE, SIMON
Simple Simon met the pieman, In the superstore. He asked how much, the pieman said, “Two pounds twenty-four.” “They used to be a penny,” Simon said with indignation. The pieman said, “Since this was written, They’ve been subject to inflation.” Simon said, “I’m stoney broke, Times are very hard. I haven’t any cash left And I’ve maxed my credit card.” “I’m sorry,” said the pieman. “That’s a very sorry tale. Why don’t you go outside and put Your Rolls Royce up for sale?”
