Inflated Egos

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
