And what, pray tell, is the cost?
What demon lurks behind the scene
And what warmth behind the frost?
They say that oil's freely traded,
Commoditized and fungible.
And so it is with the complaints created
(Which are barely less fundable.)
Oil goes for fuel and plastic
Demand for which is inelastic,
But, while oil's also needed on the farm
Scarce fertilizer, I think, will cause no harm.
PETROLEUM, n. Literally, "stone oil," a by-product from decomposition of dead organisms, a resource less abundant than the discomposure of the living.

I think we should drill in your back yard. That will solve everything.
Petroleum jelly is often used to remove mascara. It's lousy at it, but still. xoxo

Petroleum - Something made by the stinky oil refineries in Martinez - dinosaurs in your tank.
Gotta keep your composure when going to the gas station.
petroleum: If you ask about it, you're not rich enough.
It's worth its weight in gold.
Mireille, Willie's already working on it. There are beagle adits all over the hillside.
Jim, I'm not sure I appreciate your assuming I have the answer to your question which is: to drive to Taco Bell.
Rave on, Brother Bear.
Terry, I wondered why the cats I shove in my tank never come back out.
Icy, it helps to drive there in a Prius. Gas stations just make me smug anymore.
Too rich, probably, Poobah.
TLP, fie! You can't burn gold!
The cost of gas will kick your a--.
Tis sad, but true, but it's our just due.
On butts we've sad for years, now come the tears.
I'm inventing a car that runs on urine.

JD, invents one that runs on piss and moan, you can save the whole planet.
Nice, Mule! Biercean.
When people stop cruising around in SUVs, I'll agree that gas is too expensive. Right now, apparently everyone can still afford to waste it.
Such a sad word these days.
PETROLEUM, n. Fossilized linoleum. Proof positive that the pattern of gasoline prices does have a floor. Or maybe a floral.

"Hey dude!"
"You're pushing it, dude. What makes you think these people want you back?"
"Trust me, dude. When their cars run out of gas, they'll be thrilled to have my back pushing them around."
"Yeah. And they'll back right up on top of you, and you'll be pushing up daisies."
"So glad to see you've got my back, dude. Knife and all. It's just like old times. Nothing's changed."
"Yeah, like how people drive these days, and never mind the cost of petroleum."
"You know what a gasoline addict's called, don't you, dude?"
"A car-go cultist. Sheesh. Go dig an oil well or something, dude, willya? I'm going to go have a little talk with Quilldancer. This is her fault, you know."
Quilly, I understand. I have to drive an extra fifty miles in a circle to waste gas in my Prius.
Petroleum, Cooper? Have you no romance left in your young soul?
Amoeba, it is lucky they aren't going very far.
Dudes, welcome back.
You know, I was in the wrong frame of mind when you offered this word. My proper response should have been, "I don't want to pet your troll named Eum."
