Beating Inflation
The Core Rate Way
If you want to beat inflation
Here’s a sure and easy way,
Live your life to match the core rate
Then few extra costs you’ll pay.
Food and energy? Bad habits!
They’re what’s running up your bills;
Stop your eating, don’t go driving,
This will cure inflation’s ills.
Feel a morning pang of hunger?
Feed it with computer chips;
Since chip prices keep on falling
Breakfast chips check price hike blips.
Don’t commute in cars on workdays
Such behavior is dead wrong,
Tell your boss it’s just too pricey
He will surely go along.
If you want to beat inflation,
All its worries to defray,
Live a core life at the core rate,
Watch the monster fade away.
