Ready To Roll Poem by Audrey Heller

I believe this year, a lot of people had
to curtail their plans, for going on a trip
by car. It's a shame in a way, but the
price of gas, is outrageous, by far!
It seems they alway wait for the summer,
then raise their prices, knowing too well,
the effect it's going to create. No one, is
happy about this and many give up, for
now it's just too late! It was great when we
could pile into the car and it didn't matter,
how close or far! We just went on our
merry way, going wherever we wanted to,
to enjoy the day! Now, of course, we can't
do, what we did in the past, for whatever
gas is in our tank, we have to make it last!
Some day I hope it will change and it no
longer, will take it's toll. Then once again,
we all can be, ready to roll!
