Falling Prices

Falling Prices This happened yesterday. We were having lunch Cooked at home By my wife beloved. 'Oh! I didn't know that The prices are falling', I said. 'Why? No! Don't you know They're rising' said she. 'But I thought Prices have fallen for Cooking gas. The rice is overcooked.' She stared at me, eyes spewing fire. I ignored her, 'and for salt: The dosas for breakfast And chutney had excess of it'. I don't recollect What happened next. But I realise, for sure, the prices Of many-a- thing, especially Our precious crockery Seem to have fallen sharply.
