Barbara Gorelick Poet Couplet

The Price of Gas

To run your car you'd better have big bucks
For these days the price of gas really sucks
You have to have it to get from A to B
And there is no relief ahead that I can see
Sometimes In desperation I ride my bike
Wearing my helmet like a good little tyke
Works okay riding around our small town
But often makes irritated motorists frown
My neighbor's car runs on natural gas
Few stations though-I think I'll have to pass
I guess I'll just keep it up long as I'm able
OMG..what if I have to choose gas or cable?

Carolyn Devonshire October 5, 2011 at 1:38 PM Dear LNC, choose cable and buy a horse! The bike works too, but a horse will take you farther. Gas prices truly "suck" and some stations are as low as $3.33 per gallon while others are at $3.60 a gallon. This makes no sense. My next car may be an electric Prius. LOL Wishing you success in the contest! Love, Carolyn
