Whatever I Can Afford (A Poem)
I am in the grocery store
Shopping for a family of four.
It may just be my imagination,
But I felt poorer just walking through the door.
My kids are texting me "what's for dinner?"
They also have suggestions galore.
I tell them we're having the same thing we have every night.
Whatever I can afford.

Summer is around the corner
And my vacation fund looks inadequate.
I scrimped and saved every nickel I could,
But with rising gas prices, it's always not enough yet.
Maybe I'll have another staycation.
Or settling for a day trip if the drive isn't too far.
One thing is for certain,
My vacation will be whatever I can afford.
