The Celebration!
By Sis Unsworth
It was such a celebration, the like not seen
for years,
they gave out the news in the morning, Mrs
Jones burst into tears.
We never believed it would happen, the country
celebrated as one.
Farmer Brown heard the news in his sickbed,
jumped up & joined in the fun!
Mary turned on her gas oven, and cooked the
whole family a meal.
“There’s plenty more where that came from,”
the thought of it gave her a thrill.
Spontaneous party’s started up, the atmosphere
lit up the sky’s.
When it sank in what had happened, many wiped
tears from their eyes
but, why did it take years to happen, they
asked all over town,
they could not believe in their wildest
dreams, the price of petrol & gas had come down.
