the hawkers


The hawkers
They will say
All costs increase
They have no choice

The big plate
The small potion
The price increases
Take it or leave it

The hawkers will squeeze
They will blame the government
Letting the raw materials jump
They don't say about themselves

The minister will say
Don't patronize those outlets”
But will he go and check?
Will he send his officers to monitor?

Your guess is as good as mine
It is NATO in the air conditioned office
Cool tea breaks spread
Counting the eggs before the basket gives way
