Things are getting bad every where.

Look under the sofa cushions
Open all the bureau drawers
Surely there must be something
That we missed the week before

How many times have we done this......digging for those lost and dropped coins...for a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread...just to try and make it till the next payday.
Good job.
Take Care

This definitely has a ring of truth,I guess we have all done it. great song!

Corinne,

My family can relate to these lyrics much.
It's a struggle in life just to get through day to day without having to worry about money, which of course makes the world go 'round.
It's quite strange that I read this piece by you now as my mother and I were just discussing dinner for the next two days. It cost her $35 aus dollars for few pieces of chicken and meat which seem like nothing. It's a shame how much prices are going up in the world. It seems as though soon we will not be able to eat.

Hey, mac and cheese is 50 cents
A can of chick peas are 59
Now we have enough for dinner
Fish out another nickel and dime

The above was really held alot of emotion.

This was a very emotional piece which really struck a cord on my heart. Thank you for writing this. An enjoyable read.
