Criticism / Ouch!!! (Analysis)

Gas just hit $4 and i drive to make my cash

So i’m feeling the pinch in my right and left pocket and wonder how long this all will last

When i started driving a taxi gas was .89, so $4 is making me gasp

I’m up to $45 a day and gas seems different, it’s burning off too fast

And everything else is going up so my dollars just don’t go as far

I’m thinking about getting a shiney scooter, complete with a two seater sidecar

I gotta do something quick and people will understand

The price of gas is killing them so i’ll still be in demand

A big wheel built for two wouldn’t be out of the question

I’ll try anything so i’m open to suggestions

I think a new president who wants to end tis silly war

Would be the start of not saying Ouch!!! anymore

the message is clear enough but it appears really rushed, like not much thought was put into it. it would be better if you played closer attention to details and elaborated on your points more. but if it was meant to be a rave then it was good.  but then the rhyme scheme is also quite off. you do it and then you suddenly drop it at the end which kind of killed the flow for me. you can improve a lot on it more though. it is a nice topic. good luck!

I really liked this critcism. You have brought humour into a serious issue in today’s society. Your rhyming is really great, the only thing I can critique is you have written I’m as i’m.
Excellent piece

“A big wheel built for two wouldn’t be out of the question”
This is a very redeeming line for this piece.

I would put this under poetry.  Criticism is more for reviews of things like novels, etc.

I liked this it was very quirky and straight to the point but worthy of reading and I hope it leads into a gritty story line.

Haha, yeah, I feel your pain. Actually, this whole gas crisis started while I was learning to drive, so I never even bothered to get my license. I just ride my bike or walk everywhere, so much cheaper.

Anyway, a few typos:
All lines – Capitalize your “I” in each sentence referring to yourself (I, I’ll, I’m, etc.).
Line 11 – “tis” needs to be changed to “this”.
