Show Time

I can hear you calling me to join you for a cup of tea.I can hear you calling me to sample your homemade coffee .I have not had breakfast in years and I have missed the things to make my morning deserving; beacon, eggs, and toast, sausage beans and fruit juice with cereal and milk to start my day I would like things to be normal again. The coffee is weeping and the cappuccino is appeasing but caffe latte is more delicious and sometimes it causes much fuss. The price is flying in the sky but I will continue to have it until I die, I just love the whipped cream on top and the glass mugs gallivanting with my new frock, a mug of caffe latte every morning will give you strength and energy to brighten your day. I am not really a coffee drinker, but I love the smell and the aroma, I love herbal tea too and the taste that comes with the premium brand. You have a variety to choose from and markets that you can rely on. I love to make my own breakfast but ingredients are scarce and the prices are screaming everywhere. People are buying it but not everyone can afford. I have to go back to my business plans and connect all the dots. I have to look for new investors with a solid business structure that can put the pieces back together and stabilize the markets before the end of the day. I want to see your job growth and the number of new boats on your turf, show me your yearly revenue and when the rent and the mortgage is due I want to see your 401K benefit package, your Medicare and Medicaid insurance plan before you compile the data. I can hear you calling me to join the party but there is still more work to be done before we can have fun. I still need to see the figures of the number of visits you make to the doctor, the number of care that you share and the people that you hold dear. I want to see your dental plans and the number of visitors that come to the land; I want to see your yearly revenue and the number of new shoes on top of the roof. I want to see your foreign aid and deals and projects that you call steel. And what about the housing projects and the homeless shelters all over the land, camps on beach, lorry piling up in the corners and the cars running up and down the street. I want to see your industrial numbers, immigration and land border, reports on supermarket and grocery stores closure and business falling into administration. And what about the education sector have teachers gotten a raise to teach the first grade? I am calling you to have breakfast with me and for you to tell me about the health of the economy, please do not waste your time on trivial things, He she says and He she does, I don’t want to hear any more of it. I just what to hear how the country is doing and the cost of living. So, take your balance sheet with you and we will go over it through and through; its show time.
