Poetry Superhighway April 2023 Poems

Shrinkflation blues PSH

Shrinkflation blues PSH

In these days
Of rampant inflation
And supply chain disruptions
Corporations have risen
To the challenge

By selling new
And improved products
The only difference
between these new products
And the old products?

They are twice the price
And half the size
And not at all
New and improved

Just more corporate
Bs weasel words


Write a poem about something that is supposed to be “new and improved” that has turned out to be a disappointment.
