Is greedy Mike Whatley a KXL tout
With children and grandkids for whom he's not looking out?
Or is he planning to export them to a tar-free, planet Mars
With the money he makes plastering the U.S. with Alberta's tars?
Dare we hope Alberta's slime is inflammable enough
That if someone struck a match, it could burn in place,
Making Alberta ideal for toasting marshmallows
While saving the U.S. from becoming a basket case?
Do you suppose this same Mike Whatley invested
In marshmallow makers as well as Big Oil?
Yet Big Oil's convinced Whatley's not a tree hugger,
Or in danger of being considered a man of the soil.
Unless daddy's an arsonist, how can his children be proud?
Or aren't they allowed to express their feelings outloud?
What if living on Mars has little or no appeal?
Will Mike strike a match to show he gives a hoot how they feel?
