Gasoline, O gasoline, run my car, sweet gasoline. Take me to my job today, O wayward gasoline. Gasoline, good gasoline, run out on me, damn gasoline, Stand me on this road today, O lack of gasoline. Gasoline, burn gasoline, burn with the fires of hell. Destroy this world we live in, O sweet, sweet gasoline. Run out on us, sweet gasoline, strand us on this road. I curse the day that happens. ( about forty years to go! ) Gasoline, O gasoline. Destroy our planet, gasoline. Make us all your loyal slaves, O sweet sweet gasoline. Gasoline, O gasoline. Start World War Three, O gasoline. Start World War Three, run out on me, O lack of gasoline. Strand us on this road to hell, O sweet sweet gasoline. |

Nice transition from frolics to true problems of the world. I like the way you put this together. Krishankins A bird never flies so high that it can't hit the ground |

 It was serious, but not heavy-handed. In fact, it's rare that world issues make me smile so much!Great write. These smiling eyes are just a mirror for the sun. |

yea and aint it a shame they dont seem to adress this issue all that much. Ehh they just figure why bother, they'll all be dead by the time the stuff (edit)hits the fan for US. Big problem here, indeed. Thank you for your reply, love [This message has been edited by Poet deVine (07-01-2002 07:28 AM).] |

gasoline is the fuel for self-destructed demise!! muhaha really though, the whole gasoline problem is a maddeningly insidious example of neglected foresight just a reminder.... its not going to be like this forever, there is a LOT of technology trying to BEAT that monster this very minute one day my friend.....

bit neglected foresight and purposeful want of destructiveness is what this specie is about unfortunately...I appreciate your write..reminds me of Joni Mitchell's... Big Yellow Taxi that was trendy back then [This message has been edited by ecrivan (07-01-2002 08:47 PM).] |
