The Call of Cheap.



The call of cheap is prosaic
but made attractive in vague
 by adding fringes  in opague
 gaining validity by terms
of  advertisements and  in form
  reaching out to frailties in storm.

Cheap once upon a time
meant something derogatory and crime
that which is not approved by all
that which stood for low quality in all
that which  also indicates bad behaviour all in all..

Cheap has risen to lofty high
with free bies and hoarse cries.
Cheap air tickets  go with  tries
no other facilities  in the skies
being caged in an aircraft for hours
without air and space  in a tower.
