All You Have

bobfallon

Come on down, we'll all sleep walk

towards the sound of the best deal in town.

Do I hear five U.S. dollars for one gallon

of clean fresh water? Do I hear five, I've got

four, will someone give me five, who will give me

five dollars for every gallon I've got here today, and I don't have

a lot, sorry to say, but this here is the best, grade A, guaranteed

to meet all your basic needs, this stuff is the best stuff,

too good for washing up with, bathe your throat with it, make your soups,

I have four, will anyone give me more, what's that, I'll take that,

I've got four fifty from this man in front, four and a half per gallon,

remember, I've only got so much, I've got four and a half per gallon,

will anyone go five, five dollars per gallon, I got four fifty,

anyone, anyone at all, alright then, four fifty once, four fifty twice,

sold to this fella over here, yeah, I've got you, for four fifty a gallon,

you can see the clerk right over there, and I'll see the rest of you

the next time we get any sizable quantities of fresh water in stock

hopefully you all survive until then, and the price

won't send you into shock. I wish you all, be the well.

    "And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver."
