Going shopping on a budget
Never ceases to amaze
Single parent with 5 kids
Yes I’m kinda brave
Driving on street-magnets
To buy this month’s food
Was denied food stamps
Cause I seemed rude
Walk into the store
The cashier smiles
Legit I’m a lip-magnet
Cause she stared at it for a while
She thought I had no money
Since I filled two carts
She was surprised
That much was off the charts
She turned with a hoarse greeting and said,
Will that be Ebt? I said no but I have coupons on me.
She looked confused but conceded with haste.
Okay your total is 3.99. Wait I have a coupon for that lace.
Hot dogs check so are the buns, Pillsbury, a pie of Mariah Carey.
I stroll out of Family Dollar, having spent fifty cents.
Good thing I didn’t buy that mit.
I come home, bum rushed by kids.
Daddy Daddy, here’s my list.
I stare at them, say what?
Daddy all I want is this toy truck.
No sir you’re getting the same thing
You got last year. But a pic of a deer
Will bring me to tears. How about a beer?
You’re six years old, so bold, little toad.
Go and sleep…ugh you’re so cheap.
