Gas Prices Don’t Matter

 

By Elton Camp

 

 

Whether gas prices are going up or down

Matters not to one group near our town

Go up highway 43 to Ethridge, Tennessee

And there these self-sufficient folks will be

 

No vehicles with cylinder eight, six or four

One or two horsepower and need no more

And the least troublesome vehicles around

Not any fancy power features to break down

 

Having figured out how to run them on hay,

There are no exorbitant pump prices to pay

How this relieves them from so much strife

There’s lots to be said for the simple life

 

(Written about an Amish community near here.)
