I’m All Out of Gas

This is a submission for Kevin’s No Theme Thursday.

Oh, your liquid petroleum magic reigns

And my wallet is the one that feels all the pain

For when I need you most, you’re not around

And yet somehow on every corner, you’re always found

Forever filling up, the bane of my existence

Because work is often a very far distance

Damned if I do, and damned if I don’t

I can’t stop driving though, I just won’t

I really wish your price would go down

Because I wanna take a drive out of town

This isn’t easy, no, and it’s not right

I haven’t a choice, I must give up the fight

Avoiding running empty, it’s always my plight

Because I just can’t stand seeing that dang gas light!

A necessary evil, so what else can I say?

As I sit here scrolling, I’ll fill up for another day

Just a tad bit of humor. 🤪 😜

      • Yup friends make momenta like that fun. Here in India we drive two wheelers mostly so if I run out of fuel my friend pushes my scooter with one leg while riding his motorcycle lmao.

      • 😆!!! Nice!! That’s awesome, and probably so much easier to deal with in some ways. I’ve often thought of getting a scooter but the drivers are crazy here, and I certainly don’t think I could take it on the highway, but what do I know lmao 🤣
        And yes, quite adventurous, over all.

      • They are fun and economic plus the warm weather helps. If these factors check then go ahead and get one. For driving within the city its a great option. I think road and traffic conditions are much better in the US so I guess it shouldn’t be much of a problem however you would have to pay more insurance. So really up to you but I would say go for it. You get one chance at life right?

      • You are right! I’m not sure about the loophole here but somewhere I read you don’t have to have insurance on scooters, at least in Florida anyways. Currently, I have a 40 mile drive to work but back when work was 4 miles away it would’ve been a good idea I think. Maybe I’ll consider it if I get a job closer. Thanks for the info! Definitely something to consider. And I agree, they are fun! 😁

  9. I loathe commutes and please be safe traveling back and forth ❤ … I will say, some of my best ideas spring forth on the road, with the windows down! Oh, and blast the music the whole way (lol) !!!

    • I just got off my 40 mile commute with the music blasting! Haha 😆 and thank you, it definitely can be quite dangerous at times, so I do really appreciate that! ❤️ but you are right, when your mind zones…all those things come flowing in, like a trance state. My medium always says that too, “you’ll get ideas when you’re driving, too!” Haha. And it’s sooo dang true! 😊
