Fuel For Thought
Gas prices on the rise again?
Folks don't know what to do?
I've found a tiny solution,
It's fuel made of doggie doo!
Several pints of canola oil,
Perhaps an egg or two;
Stir in a quart of bourbon,
Add ammonia and borax too!
A touch of secret ingredients,
I can't share more with you;
Now just a touch to set it off,
It's good ol' doggie doo!
I've got me the biggest shovel,
I'm attackin' every lawn;
Draggin' behind a garbage can,
I'm scoopin' 'til the break of dawn!
An outdoor lab in the yard,
Plus granma's rusty kettle;
Mix in all the components,
While the dog doo tests my mettle!
A hard day's work equals fuel,
Enough to last three weeks;
My face is turnin' black and blue,
On both sides of my cheeks!
With a funnel, I'm pourin' it in,
I can't wait to turn the ignition;
"WHAM! BOOM!...KA-POW!!"
This car's on a brand new mission!
Cruisin' around the neighborhood,
I'm giddy as a goofy lark;
My wife prefers to take the bus,
While I'm drivin' through the park!
A hundred miles per gallon,
Zero to sixty in three;
Don't tell nobody in politics,
Especially those in D.C.!
Someday I'll be a billionaire,
Go ahead, call me a fool;
Who would believe a country bum,
That plays with doggie doo?
