Gas Prices Don'T Matter
Gas Prices Don’t Matter
By Elton Camp
Whether gas prices are going up or down
Matters not to one group near our town
Go up highway 43 to Ethridge, Tennessee
And there these self-sufficient folks will be
No vehicles with cylinder eight, six or four
One or two horsepower and need no more
And the least troublesome vehicles around
Not any fancy power features to break down
Having figured out how to run them on hay,
There are no exorbitant pump prices to pay
How this relieves them from so much strife
There’s lots to be said for the simple life
(Written about an Amish community near here.)
