"Lending A Finger" (Use a word and it's yours, John) Royal Dutch Shell is on-line begging For big donations for leakage repair. The rest of Big Oil is busy egging Shell on, thinking what if they were there? What are the Dutch the most in need of? Fingers! FINGERS! For the plugging. Money is nice, but it's the plugging, That like this rhyme, they've made a mess of. One tiny tot's precocious finger Will not suffice for them this time. They're facing the world's most fickle finger, House Speaker Boehner's companion full-time. But will Shell be able to catch John Boehner;s Frightfully limited attention span? Taxes and debts weren't able to hold it. We're talking the House's Chief Do-Nothing Man. Let somebody else do all the doing He knows that he's going to get all the blame Might just as well be home boo-hooing. Fate gets him again. What a horrible shame. But, John, John, John, Dutch Shell is calling You, the free world's most notorious hand wringer, Reputedly Fate's foremost recipient Of its world famous ficklest finger. To hear you tell it, John, Fate has had at you With her famous finger much too much! Can't you arrange to share Fate's fickle finger In the Arctic with these incontinent Dutch?
