Pumps' Perplexities

There was a rubber ball called a "Spauldeen"....Actually it was a
tennis ball without "fuzz".....

In order to make friends and to have other children play with
you, you had to have a NEW "Spauldeen".....Olde ones did not
bounce as high.....The newer the ball the more children wanted
to play with it.......

The ten cents "Spauldeen" has faded into history but the "Cell
Phone" has taken its place......If you want to have friends and
play with other children you must have the newest version of
the "it takes pictures, plays music and calls anyone for 'free"
cell phone.....

Oh the poor parents....Years ago it cost a dime to keep the
children content and happy.....Now it costs 300 times as much.....
(Good thing this equation does not relate to gasoline?)....Pumps
