The Cost of Living
Spending money here and there
Pennies, nickels, dimes and dollars
Prices raised without a prayer
Leaving my pocket with a holler
Groceries cost more and more
Utilities are higher and higher
I don’t really know what for
I sometimes wish I knew the supplier
Mortgages and interest take a chunk
What do I do about the price of red meat?
My paycheck has definitely shrunk
Buying one dinner is a huge feat
Maybe I’ll get a big raise one day
I hope that will happen this May
