Why Are We Still Using Gasoline?

Why are we still using gasoline?
The smell in the air is so unclean.
Each day more people are getting ill.
The fact we still use it...is so unreal.

Why are we still using gasoline?
Smog in the air a dirty scene.
Every day we breathe pollution.
They like to pretend there's no solution.

Why are we still using gasoline?
What's going on has been foreseen.
Breathing this poison every day.
This is the price that we all pay.

Why are we still using gasoline?
You know we could gradually go green.
Phase out the cars that contaminate.
Just do it now--it's not too late.

Box Tops Getting Smaller

I love the Box Tops for Education program because it's like free money for your
child's school, but the Box Tops keep getting smaller and smaller.

Sometimes I see the front of a package that says it has a Box Top on it and I have
to search for it because it's so tiny. There have even been times that I knew there
was a Box Top on the package and I accidentally ripped it because I didn't see it.

When you do see a Box Top please cut it out and give it to your child's school. If
you don't have a child, cut the Box Top out and give it to someone that does. Even
though Box Tops are small they make a big difference to a school in need.

Fake Pockets

This isn't the first time I bought jeans with fake pockets, but it's never on purpose.
When I go shopping for jeans whether my pockets are real or not just isn't on my
mind. I'm more worried about if the jeans are going to be too tight, or are they go-
ing to slowly slip down on me as the day goes on. But once again, I got tricked by
the cute, perfect and very fake pockets.


Fake Pockets Poem

Jeans you seemed to fit just right.
You weren't to loose.
You weren't too tight.
When I wore you I realized...
What looked like pockets were just a lie.
I buy my jeans by look and feel.
The jean pockets seemed so real.
I'll know next time I go and shop,
I won't forget to look and stop
Are my pockets real or fake?
Clothes manufacturer you are are snake.

Oranges

I went to the grocery store and I wanted to buy some peaches or plums, but they
didn't look very fresh. Then I saw these big, fat, juicy looking navel oranges.

When I got home I decided an orange and a piece of cheese would taste really
good. As I was rinsing one of my pretty oranges I realized my orange wasn't from
America...It was from South Africa!

I usually read the labels on fruits and vegetables before I buy them, but this time
I didn't. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I feel safer eating produce that has been grown
in my country. I don't know the regulations for food in Africa, so I decided not to
eat any of the oranges. Do you think I should've eaten the oranges?

Central Air

When my central air quit about three weeks ago, I decided I'd try to go the rest
of the summer without it. At first it was OK. The nights dipped into the 50s, and
it didn't get up to 90 degrees in the house until about 5:00 pm. I thought, "Hey...I
can handle this." By the next week it wasn't so easy anymore. The open windows
and ceiling fans weren't doing the job. The nightly temperatures were in the 70s
and the daytime temperatures were near 85 degrees. I was feeling next to no
relief when it came to cooling down.

My father gave me a fan, and I borrowed three more fans from two of my co-
workers. I had open windows, ceiling fans, oscillating fans, and box fans, but
it still wasn't enough. I finally decided I'd have to give in. I had to get my central
air back. I was very uncomfortable and I was also worried about the heat ruining
my medications and food. Plus it was so hot I could hardly sleep. Now that I
have my central air back I feel like a normal person.
