Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Gassed from Past

Esso the old Standard Oil

John D. Rockefeller did own

Gas stations o'er all U.S. soil,

Full service to customers shown.

Polite, well groomed attendants would

Gas up the car and offer to

Fulfill other requests they could,

As to achieve full service true,

And make ev'ry customer feel

Good care was given to their car

For pennies a gallon gas deal,

To help the car trip near or far.

Self service - there was just no way.

Full service always, night and day.
