About Gas Prices

*Aug. 23, 2003.

Gas prices don't bother me.
It's the constant change in price
that wrecks my day.


I would easily pay three dollars
if that's where it stayed--
we have the cheapest gas
in the world, anyway.

To be honest,
we should pay more
as nature is footing
the rest of our bills.
But, our leaders
have delivered us
in shackles and chains--
tied to the gas pumps
in a Fordian way.

Shoot, I wish it was that low here in CA--the lowest I've seen here lately is about $2.07 for regular unleaded. J.
