Reducing Crude Oil Transportation Costs
(And fatalities)

In the matter of crude oil transportaion fatalities
The Prime Minister of Canada's more than willing to go Dutch.
Our population is considerably bigger.
Does he therefore assume we won't miss the victims as much?

We're sorry his oil train wrecked in Quebec.
Something about not properly setting the brakes?
Thanks for the tip-off, Mr. Prime Minister,
To show President Obama how little it takes

For a major disater when transporting your tar.
We don't mean to be impertinent or the least little bit rude,
But why not insist that the Oil Mafia doing the digging
Construct their refineries much nearer the crude.

Record profits for extracting? Who can better afford it?
Cut their CEO take home? Voila! Wnat have you got?
New refineries out in the middle of nowhere
Where their usual screwups couldn't hurt squat.
