Inflation-Deflation
It's not easy writing lyrically
When writing of inflation
It doesn't come empirically
There's much mis-information
The dollar's up! The dollar's down!
Does it really matter?
Some will smile, some will frown
Most will do the latter
When money's in excess
It's deemed to be inflationary
Then dollars buy much less
They're never ever stationary
What can we do
To deflate spiralling dollars?
Having no clue
We rely on money scholars
They try to solve our puzzle
By raising taxes so
Perhaps they should be muzzled
For taking all our dough
Never causing much elation
For the poor guy at his till
Inflation and deflation
Come and go, they always will
