Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Oil and Onions

The evil speculators are
Making the price of gas sky high.
Each time that I fill up the car,
I watch the dollars climb, and cry
"Oh nanny state where art thou now?'
Onions were once upon a time
Price speculated on somehow,
So big gov deemed that a high crime,
And set the onion prices free
From the nasties who speculate.
So oil like onions soon will be
Saved from bad speculators fate.

Now onion prices wildly jump,
Something to ponder at the pump.
