a writeclub piece by inky

In their own way
the bank staff declared
an unofficial holiday
Bold as brass – they walked out with sass
with all the copper pennies
increasing the cost of the sweet shops
the 99p shops and chemmies
for while they were living the high life
with the money that they had pinched
the storeholders had to recoup their loss
and the shoppers – they all flinched
for as 1p turned to 2p,
2p turned to five
and 10p treats rose to 50p
with kids screaming “Man Alive!”
