UP YOUR'S

Just a bit of humor on the gas situation:

Up Yours

Desperate times imbued the voter's minds
tired of lies and windfall oil company profits,
having to cope with OPEC and Venezuela,
elected a beer drinking, cussing blue collar worker
to White House.

Promised to shove his middle finger
in the face of any executives or foreigners
who didn't cooperate
on giving the working man a break
at the pumps.

So he punched out two board meetings
then swaggered in to Arab conference
using the diplomacy he knew
telling them knock it off
or he would shove a nuke
where the sun don't shine.

All captured on news,
voters standing and cheer,
until the consequences
hit the pumps.

Regular now costs a paycheck,
mid-grade requires giving blood
premium demands being an organ donor.

Only redeeming spot
new President made
owing a whiskey still legal.

Citizens drinking more
and driving less,
passing out great solution to crisis,
hangovers excuse to stay home.
