when I'm online and shopping site unseen,  
I do it 'cause I can, the money's good  
I'm finding that some prices are obscene  
inflation, I have never understood

the government thinks money can be free  
when we all know that there is no free lunch  
and I am left to wonder, what's to be  
no point to saving pennies in a bunch

at least I drive a new electric car  
and charge it in my house, so there is that  
so there's some savings, not too high a bar  
thank god, unlike in Europe there's no VAT

a sonnet on inflation, what is next?  
a service to deliver it, by text
