Poetically speaking

Surely you Jest mi-Lord...
SAVE MONEY?
We saved around 100,000 over 20 years
And
Through the magic of
Insidious, creeping deregulation of the banking and other monetary industries
It went up in smoke
Just as if we'd gone into the yard and used it to light cigars
And
Every time I go into town to get anything, anything I tell ya
The price has gone up and the size has gone down
Just yesterday I noticed that a quart of Best Foods Mayo is now 30oz
However this isn't a problem due to the overall creeping ignorance of the American consumer
Now, now don't anyone pout about that statement...

The only thing in my life that hasn't suffered from inflation
Is
Guitar strings
Save Money?
Stifle yourself
Do without
Don't spend it
