CHANGING FOOD CHOICES AS SOCIETY IMPLODES

You know your economy is in a full retreat,

When both your grandmas start looking, really good to eat,

I am never complaining,

Weight loss is entertaining,

Be nice to have a ham sandwich, or one pickled beat.

MY SAX HAS COST ME $75,000, AND WARM AIR

My online heating statement is ready, but my bank account is closed,

Each way I look at it, my monthly finances are totally hosed,

To buy my saxophone,

I took out a big loan,

Back in 2003, I didn't know the danger, my credit card imposed.

MY INVESTMENT STRATEGY

I invested in some stocks, and that felt crazy, nice,

I never quite realized, I was just rolling fixed dice,

I lost all of my money,

Got divorced from Sweet Honey,

The only foods I can afford, are split peas and rice.

THE PRICE OF HAIR SPRAY

The price of hair spray has gone up, up, up,

I'll soon have to choose between my hair spray or sup,

I private teach music horns,

My low income me morns,

I'm eating only some soup in a cup.
