Worse Than Charge Is Surcharge
Even those with account large
Do not fancy the least charge:
Men with riches as their badge
Could later on sing a dirge
Try to involve some cheap serge
“We’ve been hit with an iceberg!”
Thus, ‘Charge’ is a word quite harsh,
Its habitual users rash,
Trying their best to sound brash:
Charge’ a bit better than ‘Crash’.
At the battlefront a charge,
At a police station a charge,
For some received service charge,
After a withdrawal charge,
But worse than charge is surcharge:
Delays to phones recharge
Or some strict duty discharge.
