things are getting tight

i have a garden
hose in the back
yard. it's much
cheaper than an
inground pool,
or even a blow up
pool, auqua blue,
with yellow ducks
painted on the side.
i'm downsizing,
cutting back these
days on account of
the economy, business
is not what it used
to be, meaning
you too will be
affected. we can
no longer go out
to swanky restaurants,
like denny's or hunan
west, but instead
we'll be eating
burgers and dogs
off the grill,
on the patio, next
to the pool, or hose,
(i haven't decided yet)
where i can squirt
you down in that
bikini you bought
in bermuda five
years ago when money
wasn't so tight, and
neither was the suit.
