Revue of 2010 - #2: Oil Slick

As part of my purge of last year, here's my response to the BP story when it broke in May. Not funny.

--------------
(Sung to the tune of the old standard I'LL BE SEEING YOU)

Oil - we're seeing you
On all those southern US beaches
Killing mother nature's creatures
BP's through

From those tiny dabs
To oyster shrimp and crabs
Red snapper's turning black
Not seen this much
Oil since Iraq

What BP can do
Is anybody's guess now
Mississippi folk confess how
It starts M-I-double-mess now

They'll fine you
A load off Biloxi
BP's beeping screwed
For leaking tonnes of crude
And they'll be suing you.

END
