gas wipe!

30, 40, 50,...fifty bucks!!
fifty bucks to fill my tank?!
why does the pump always ask...
"RECEIPT DESIRED?"

are they laughing at me?!
is it a sarcastic reminder
that i'm getting screwed?!
what do i want with the receipt?!

maybe i should set it on fire...
or hang it on the wall for darts!
perhaps i can use it as toilet paper!
wait a minute, i have an idea!...

"hey honey, where's the envelopes?!"
"darling, where's the stamps?!"
"sweetheart, where's the phone book?!"
i'll send it straight to their corporate office!

a little note will accompany this receipt,
when the envelope's opened,..."PEEEUUW!!"
and when they read my note, it'll ask...
"WIPE DESIRED?"

    the prices do make you want to be drastic. I just stay at home.

    Ha-ha!! This is great, Milton. Maybe we should all send our annoying receipts to the oil tycoons' offices? (But I'm not yet ready to replace the TP.) You had me laughing out loud when I got to the last line. Very entertaining, witty write! Love, Carolyn
