Student Writing — Inflation!

By Michael Evans

Grade6,Room209

We have something called inflation

And it is happening to our nation.

As the big blue sky

Prices are sky high

What’s wrong with our civilization?

Now we have something called money

And it’s coming quite funny.

Men try to make it.

Thieves try to take it.

Now that ain’t even funny.

Will it ever come to an end?

Maybe in 2002,

And I have a funny feeling

I doubt if it ever do!
