A Poem: Gas

O gas station of love,
With your flowers and chocolates,
For forgetful men,
And those who can’t be bothered.

So the Scots call a bag a poke? The older generation where I am from (South Carolina) call it that, too. The southeastern US was heavily settled by Scots and Ulster-Scots. Must be where we got that from. :slight_smile:
