i dreamed i saw cheap gasoline


click on this link, if you dare, it will take you to an online book by the name of Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted, by one Gustavus Hindman Miller (i love this name), copyright 1931, wherein you can at long last unlock what those movies in your head are actually trying to tell you, example: under "gasoline" the author asserts that "to dream of gasoline denotes you have a competency coming to you through a struggling source" (huh?), similar entries can be found for "hemp seed", "tapeworm", "tarantula", and so on and so forth...thank you and good night.

I dreamed I saw cheap gas last night,
Alive as you or me
Says I, "Petrol, you're ten years dead,"
"you're a fossil fuel, you see.
"dead dinosaurs, you see.

"In Kokomo," says I to him,
Him standing by my bed,
"youre $2.09 and change,"
and Petrol's looking mighty peeved,"
My ethylene friend sez, "But I ain't dead."
"Texaco and MobilOil,
will surely start to grieve.

So stick that spigot up your spout
with one last pull for me
because solar energy will take your place
not soon enough for me.

The white clad sheiks will scream and yell
and curse the very ground
because one day they'll kiss our ass
when a substitute is found.


Robert Sommers with a nod to Joe Hill.
