Promoting Gas Guzzling
(In North Carolina)

When I was the Oil Mafia's primary hood
We promoted gas guzzling whenever we could,
Targeting North Carolina's hybrids and electric cars,
Forced them off the road, scraped up the drivers
     and pickled them in jars.

Tillerson lined one whole wall of his office
With North Carolinians who had tried to save gas,
Who hogged the highways in their electrics and hybrids
So hoods in their gas guzzlers weren't able to pass.

It didn't work for them. We HumVee'd them off the road.
"How dare they not pollute?" Rex Tillerson said.
"If they don't get our message about no conservation,
We'll bottle them up or fill them with lead."

We may have been a bit too enthusiastic.
In some cases we were and some we were not.
The Escape, Tahoe and Dart get lousier mileage
Than the Chevrolet Cruze Eco non-hybrid apparently got.
