     And make some people frown.
But many still fly when they go.

 Consumers are spending more money.
Because prices rise fast as a bunny.

      Is just some more verbage.

Get an empty food carton from the grocery store.
Fill it with canned goods, pasta and more.
     It's for the hungry in town.
     Please don't let them down.
On Saturday your mail carrier will clear your front door.
--The Sun May 5 page A2
