Just back from the shops!

Bread is rising
Gas is too
Trains that take you for a ride
Chickens now on higher perches
Tax are stinging, biting deep
But there's one good thing
To lift that frown
Inflation's definitely coming down!

Good Topical Write, think I need to be an immigrant in some place warm, with a low cost of living, can you think of anywhere?

How about Bhutan! Probably not as warm as you would like though!
mountains

Just wait till the UK introduces the Euro :p  
 
Note though that the higher you go, the colder it gets.

What a clever poem! Bread rising, chickens perching and trains taking us for a ride! I do feel dizzy when I go grocery shopping these days. I tend to notice "Rice Price Rise" since we eat so much of it. :grin  
 
Mia - I have a Bhutanese friend. I got the feeling life in Bhutan isn't so comfy. ;)
