Gas prices are the highest yet-
Sure, they are in a given bet.
.
How dare they rise so high-
How are we supposed to get by?
.
Not to be rude-
But, that extra money could be used for food.
.
Or something else, like as in a big list-
I’m upset about this high gas price tryst.
.
Except for the summer of 2008, without
rhyme or reason, the prices blasted off
into outer space.
Higher gas prices are just too hard to face.

Trees blinking red and green-
In some stores, have already been seen.
