AVALANCHE UP

Trickle down is in a pickle
Trickle pickle down.
Trickle down is very fickle
Trickle pickle fickle.

The poor are being ripped off
The poor don't have a nickel.

No such thing as 'trickle down'
There's only 'avalanche up'.
So please don't take the mickle
Just pass the hammer and sickle.
