It affects us in so many ways
We simply can’t ignore it:
Everything is Free these days,
And we’ re all paying for it.

Not Flying Saucers
They are, I declare on my soul,
Most grotesque, fantastic, and droll:
You know what I mean;
(If you don’t, where ‘ve you been?)
Controls we can’t seem to control!

Embraceable You
When wages chill and prices freeze,
Beware, my friend, the unfair squeeze.
You’ll be protected, there is rumor,
Unless, of course, you’re classed consumer.

Economics Lesson
A bricklayer is a fellow who makes
Loud noises about the price of steaks,
But who looks amazed when the butcher kicks
on three bucks an hour for laying bricks
