Turn On the Furnace

Don't turn on the furnace yet it's only early November If we can make it lets wait till December Wear some fussy socks for your feet A woolen cap on your head as you sleep Sweaters and scarfs and mittens too Cuddling under a blanket for two We got to do what we got to do Dang the Inflation of twenty twenty two We got to eat so use less heat The price of gas has got us beat Doing without and making do Duck tape those old shoes Last years fashion is good enough For Christmas don't expect new stuff A recycle gift from your closet will do Since you never wore it it's new to you Eating out just not happening Home cooking thanks to crazy old kook Joe Biden So when we gather like Whos for all to see Around our missing Christmas tree Who can we thank for our profound misery All together from the young to the old Let's go Brandon! we scream for our Inflation woes.

Great poem, Fritz! Well-written and very timely! If you haven't already, you should enter it in the current poetry contest about the Bidens. I support your sentiments in my Limerick poem, "The REAL News".
