Robert Walker Poet Rhyme

That Damn Gas Can

i look at these gas prices today 
and they make it hard to laugh
when 10 dollars gets me a quater tank
but 20 wont get me half

so all my other expenses i have 
i must put off to the last
after running around paying other bills
once again i'm out of gas

therefore i pull into the station 
where i dam near faint 
when i see that 20 dollars
only puts 5 gallons in my tank

i need to start riding a bike 
but i have too far to go
so i end up staying home alot 
cause i cant afford the petro

i remember when gas was 94 cent 
back then we were really spoiled 
now it doesnt make any sense
the price they put on oil

why could'nt i have been an oil tycoon
or an arabian king
then the last thing i would worry about 
is the price of gasoline

as for now i think that electric car
has found itself a new fan
for this is the last time you see me
walking !!   with that damn gas can
