Gas Pains

I used to fill my tank for a dollar

   Now, paying forty bucks makes me holler

      I need a loan from the bank

         Just to fill my thirsty tank

            If this continues I'll live in squalor

Bet the governments are working out maximum tax on recharging electric cars, and no doubt have devious plans in place already. Great poem Robert, All the best for the new year. Harry.

Sorry, I had no idea you were writing,.. I am in the bin of poets to forget due to illness? Thats Ok, I keep writing! Gas is high in CA! Ouch. Prices will drop when slime is removed from Congress in 2002. And more so in 2004. We elected morons in the USA. Pangie

G'day Bob ... you might have to round up a horse and hitch it to a cart. But then the price of hay will go sky high. We just can't win with a bloated public service Bob - Lindsay

Hadn't thought of that, Tom, but that is of some consolation - ha! Thanks for the Thanksgiving Day greetings and hope all is going well at your house - Bob
