the stupor bowl party

with the big game coming up.
the super bowl.
prices
have been raised across the board.
markets
are gouging sports fans
and revelers.
beer cost
more, liquor
and wine,
chicken wings and potato
chips.
little bottles of Texas Pete
hot sauce
are a hundred  dollars
a pop now.
everything has gone up.
spare ribs
and hot dogs,
pizza and deli meats.
even the drug dealers
have jacked up
their prices on fentanyl
and weed
and other assorted drugs,
found over or under
the counter
at the pharmacy stores.
crack pipes are two for one
now,
but hurry up, buy soon
before the kickoff,
before the first score.
