The Rise In Prices

The rise in prices Price increase becomes Price adjustment But the rise is something different Unlike the tide It only rises And never falls It's seasonal Just like the durian Every year at least once With the Financial Report And Unlike the durian it seldom falls If it doesn't rise The piece of cake is smaller Less tasty If it falls The cake is even smaller And maybe changes flavour Unlike the fall of durians In the olden days Which makes everybody happy Especially the poor planters And the gluttons The rise in prices Makes most of the people sad Especially the under income And everybody centres on the rise Has forgotten the rise of wages I hope one day the wages will rise too And never fall
