Great Value

I’m not sure when 99 cents
became a super value.

I don’t think I’ve ever paid

99 cents for anything.

As I write this I can’t

believe there isn’t a symbol for “cents”.

That’s right, look at your keyboard,

no symbol for “cents”.

It’s ridiculous to advertise something

as a great value at 99 cents when it’s never,

99 cents.

Taxes prevent anything from actually

being 99 cents.

Dollar menus? Jokes.

Dollar stores? Bring two.

What’s a dollar anyway?

There’s a dollar in change somewhere,

in your house right now that you don’t

care about.

That’s right. A jar, a vase, a bank,

filled with more than a dollar.

Just sitting, on a forgotten basement

table. Gathering dust.
 

Great value.
