Oils well that ends well

Does anyone here remember when
the lines were long?
OPEC entered our vocabulary?
Gas was not only expensive, but there were shortages?
My father burned leaded gas,
while he commuted to White Plains.

Idling in line
Summer of '79
Plates even or odd
Numbers play pump-G_d
Carter talks up 'malaise'
Motorists number his days
Price controls a statist ration
Free price is wiser in free nation
Merritt Parkway bound in greenery
Trees hit cars in death by scenery
Squash in Ridgefield sells the news
You know already the Fairfield Blues
