EVERYTHING IS SHRINKING

EVERYTHING IS SHRINKING

Everything is shrinking in the world today 
A reduction in size I am sorry to say 
I am referring to the food that we go out and buy 
I bought a bar of chocolate today and started to cry 

Chocolate is the not the only thing reduced in size 
Where is the steak and kidney in those lovely pies ?
Drinks are another thing that has decreased and dwindled
Don't start me on crisps I think I have been swindled 
 
Back in my younger days food was value for money 
Nowadays you get less and pay more which isn't funny 
However one bit of advice to bring this poem to an end 
Be grateful for the food you have its better than starving my friend

Hello Kieran...

That's why I needed a magnifying glass to find it once I open the oversize package...

We pay for the paper, they call it fun size to try and make the search less painful...

They would have had more money for the quality if they actually gave something many of us would be more willing to buy...

There's got to be fun in there somewhere...

Good luck!

Hey, let me know when you actually find it...

?

Hugs...

very ticked off.Less for more $.Yeah,we should cheer I sure.Given &@#&*! Expected to call it ice cream.What a great
poem,I laughed and frowned at the same time.Thanks??
