"Two hours of pushing broom buys and eight-by-twelve four-bit room" - Roger Miller "King of the Road"

Have you noticed since
whenever it was you started out

That the gap between having nothing and enough
to eat and a safe place to sleep
has been steadily growing year by year

And even them that covered the spread today
aren't sure how long it's going to stay that way

or build fences high enough to keep that fear away

“King of the Road” by Roger Miller
