“Gas: below three bucks a gallon!” The media’s gleefully howlin’ - But let’s not forget - They’re screwin’ us yet If it’s over a buck, they’re a felon!

Hi Jack. Well, gas has taken a bit more of a plunge since you wrote this poem and it looks like it hit bottom. Started going back up a few days ago. Let the good time roll is a pretty shot song in the petroleum industry. Never got down to a buck though. Very well written limerick, I enjoyed it, my friend..... Robert.

Hey! Hellooooooo Your Arlene-ness!! Good ta' hear from ya'!! Yep ... the petroleum companies have been gouging the American people for decades now, and when the cut back the price a few cents, they want everyone to think they're "heroes" ... horse pucky! Gas needs to be at or below $1/gallon! Thanks for stopping by, Arlene!! Jack C

Crazy how we adapt to higher and higher prices.

Yes, I agree, Dan. We do adapt out of necessity, but ... that doesn't mean we accept it. Our senses of ethical behavior won't allow true acceptance. I thank you for taking the time to comment - greatly appreciated, my friend. Jack C
