Price rises in spate <br />So is not earned buck <br />Hits me hard market <br />I fall like sitting duck. <br /> <br />Home's need for grocery <br />Rises so too price <br />My call for austerity <br />She finds not at all nice. <br /> <br />Goes up quickly tariff <br />Not my meager earn <br />Life is pretty stiff <br />With bump and ugly turn. <br /> <br />Still I breathe carefree <br />Though my poems don't pay <br />In her sweet company <br />Look to another day.<br /><br />Pradip Chattopadhyay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sitting-duck/
