Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
On the road, I watch my gauge;
Lately, this incites my rage!.
Petrol pricing makes me balk!.
Maybe I would rather walk!

Still, my dial points to "E,"
As some sheik delights in glee!.
Where's the nation's G-N-P!?
We're exhausted! Can't you see!?

Oil barons, heed the call!
Can't you hear us caterwaul!?
Will you ratchet up the price!?
C'mon, bigwigs! Just play nice!

does it have to rhyme and/or have meter!?

if not, just write a nonfiction paragraph, delete a lot so only some main words remain, a voila! a poem! for example:

Fish are aquatic animals that swim in the deep blue sea!. The have gills!.!.!.etcetc!.

and then:

Fish
aquatic, swimming in the
deep
blue
sea!.
Strange gills that!.!.!.
etcetc!.

I'd try four stanzas in 'Terza Rima" (Dorothy Parker was wonderful at it; Dante wasn't bad, either!.)

gives the idea of the form, but the 'sonnet' thing is a digression!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have a car that spits and sputters
'cause it doesn't like the words I utter
as every day goes up the gas
and my paycheck doesn't seem to last
so next time I decide to roam
I'll walk and leave my car at homeWww@QuestionHome@Com

Umm write it!.!.and why would you write a poem about it!? Why don't you make an essay and send it to the federal government!. They take an interest in throwing away your useless words! :DDDWww@QuestionHome@Com
