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 Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired © All Rights Reserved

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!!
