They Raised My Rates

A couplet poem about utility rates and junk mail.

They raised my cable rates;

I'm paying the extra freight.

The junk mail never seems to end;

just more distraction, they overspend.

 

Phone company does the same thing;

seems to me they have not an inkling.

Bundle this and bundle that;

is there such a thing as a sabbat?

 

My shredder is working overtime;

name, address slapped all over, every time.

I thought we needed to use less paper;

just more and more, right into the hopper.

 

Even at the supermarket there is pressure;

they coax me to the artificial cashier.

More paper coupons pop out, buy more;

we actually need less, and that I underscore.

 

They raised my electric rates;

I'm paying the extra freight.

My shredder does use electricity;

why shouldn't I be persnickety?
