Rico Leffanta Poet Limerick

The Balance Cheat

The problem with Weights and Measures
Is akin to wealth and pleasures
The Rule of Thumb
Is really dumb 
Yet quickly produces treasures*

*American canned products may contain
30% - or more - unregulated water priced at 
the same rate as the product, making it the 
most expensive water on earth!

Carolyn Devonshire February 1, 2019 at 12:34 PM You're kidding, 30%? Visit Disney and you'll pay $4 for a small bottle of water. Would never have imagined that happening when I was a kid growing up. But diluted grape juice cost nearly as much as the Disney water. Maybe adding grapes keeps the cost down. Excellent humor, Rico!!
