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

Ha ha! This is quite the funny Limerick Bob! I just love the way you brought the poem together, especially the middle portion, "I need a loan from the bank, Just to fill my thirsty tank" I think that part is rather great, done very well! I really enjoyed your write that I have read this evening! I love your poem tons! Awesome Work!!
