Obama's Gulf War –
Obama's Shrimpless Oil Blowout
It used to be Louisiana's Shrimp & Petroleum Festival

Please mark his calendar so he'll remember
His Shrimp and Oil Blowout's in early September.
Shrimp and Petroleum's what it was called
Until they found BP's surname was blackballed.

Shrimp Laced With Toxic Dispersants? Perhaps,
If you don't view comas as permanent naps.
But shrimp, ah, yes, shrimp. Where is he gonna get' em?
Should Salazar's "team of all-stars" forget 'em

And substitute frozen brown pelican breasts?
They're tasty as heckuvajob Brownie attests.
Or Alaskan king crabs with polar bear meat
Before Shell starts using Halliburton's concrete.

Have you ever been to a shrimpless shrimp feast?
Will they have music? I'll bet that they do.
Not only that, but with dispersed petroleum…
The way things are going there'll be lots of goo.
