Gas prices they rise,

Prices through the ceiling up into the skies,

Will take in trade,

Your first born kid,

That you so lovingly made…

An arm & a leg,

Taken for lower priced fuel,

But for premium, we will take your son,

Unless of course your daughter is the first,

Then of course she will be taken also & too…

Sorry no trade-ins on dogs, cats or other household pets,

No money can be made selling them off after the trade,

So understand and give us our due,

No don’t even think about doing the sue,

We get our prices from the oil companies,

And pass them onto you, just so much in lieu…
