Poem Artwork

The Valdez a man-made disaster,


Was this a plan from our heavenly master?


He must own stock just as does your local pastor,


Prices for crude went up since then faster & faster…


 


That gas makes my engine have gas,


It spits and sputters and knocks,


Cut with water it must be, alas,


Best to send this stuff back to the factory…


 


I remember Esso, seemed it was better back then,


Maybe they should change their name back,


Buying gas nowadays is like playing in a gamblers den,


Buy as little as possible, making the prices fall,


Hopefully then we can all send upwards a great big amen…

I use Ammoco Ed, as long as you use the 89 octane you shouldn't have a problem with exxon, ammoco, shell etc. That 7-11 gas will tear up your car. I put some 89 octane royal farms enroy gas in my trooper, it started running like crap. I had to park it until I can figure out how to get it back up to par

We should all start riding our bikes and taking public transportation and burn our cars - oops, we will probably need gas to do that, too.
