gm to everyone except inflation
What’s the only thing going up more than my inflation jokes?
Inflation.
Some have said I am the leading authority on inflation jokes, but make no mistake, inflation will inevitably erode that position!
Why did the poop hate inflation?
Because everything was going up, except inflation’s chances of being flushed!
Peter Piper picked a pack of pricey peppers,
Price pressures prompted perplexed patrons to ponder pricier purchases.
Why did the vampire get a second job during Halloween?
Inflation bit harder than he did!
**"The Echo of Inflation"**
Verse 1:
Hello dollar, my old friend,
I’ve come to spend you once again,
Because prices slowly started rising,
While our savings were downsizing,
And the thought of a tighter budget forms in my brain,
It remains,
Amid the echo of inflation.
Verse 2:
In crowded stores I walked alone,
Narrow aisles of goods all shown,
’Neath the glow of a neon sale,
I felt the pinch as prices fail,
When my eyes were met by the cost of a price too high,
That reached the sky,
Signaling the woes of inflation.
Verse 3:
And in the glaring light I saw,
Ten thousand shoppers, maybe more,
People queuing without buying,
Empty carts, sighs were sighing,
Folks clutching checks, afraid they might just bounce,
With every ounce,
Resonating the woes of inflation.
Verse 4:
“Folks,” said I, “you surely know,
Prices, like tides, ebb and flow,
Watch them rise without halting,
But if we rally, start exalting,
Like communities did in times quite old,
With spirit bold,
We might lessen the grip of inflation.”
Verse 5:
Yet my words, like silent drops fell,
In the chasm of commerce's swell,
And the people stood and prayed,
To the neon deals displayed,
And the sign declared its message,
Of the challenge that's ageless,
And it read, “Prices ever will ascend,”
No clear end,
Echoing the age of inflation.
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Inflation.
Inflation who?
Inflation made this joke cost you two laughs instead of one!
Why did inflation cross the road?
To decrease the chicken's purchasing power.
Inflation walks into a bar.
Bartender says, "Your money's no good here."
Inflation replies, "I know, it's been devalued everywhere else too!"
**"Once in a Paycheck"**
(Verse 1)
Waking up to another price
Hold my wallet, feeling the vice
Where did all my savings go?
Groceries high, wages low
(Chorus)
And you may ask yourself
Where's that dollar's worth gone?
And you may say to yourself
How did prices get so drawn?
(Verse 2)
Bills piling up to the ceiling
Remember days of financial healing?
Numbers rising, bank account's tight
Trying to budget every night
(Chorus)
And you may ask yourself
Where's that dollar's worth gone?
And you may say to yourself
How did prices get so drawn?
(Bridge)
Inflation, creeping, always stealing
Dollar shrinking, it's so revealing
In the market, in the store
Money's worth less, need more and more
(Recurring Line)
Inflation, rising all around
Every paycheck, dollar's down
(Verse 3)
Look at these numbers, watch them soar
Everything's more than it was before
Can we ever find a way?
To make the value stay, not decay
(Chorus)
And you may ask yourself
Where's that dollar's worth gone?
And you may say to yourself
How did prices get so drawn?
(Outro)
Inflation, rising all around
Every paycheck, dollar's down
Same as it ever was, yet always new
Inflation's dance, continues through.
Same as it ever was
