Obama's Gulf War –
Swimming With Obama
Three Little Fishies (in an itty bitty pool?)

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
And they swam and they swam for the deepwater cam.


Hey, Little Fishies, where you been swimming?
Are you three playing hooky? Are you all skipping school?
Why swim in a school when the world is your oyster?
Did Obama swim with you or stick to the pool?

What? He swam unprotected and someone OK'd it?
Someone perhaps with a cigarette cough?
Caused by the same polycyclics in oil
At which Jane Lubchenco has chosen to scoff?

One hundred and fifty-three fin fish were tested
So Lubchenco and crew could declare all fish safe.
But how many inspectors will she have conducting
The "ongoing testing" at which fishermen chafe?

How long since the spill have you Fishies been swimming?
How many oil plumes have you had to swim through?
How lucky you weren't three of the one-fifty-three
So thoroughly vetted by Lubchenco's crew.

Still you Three Little Fishies got to swim with Obama,
Although you weren't tested, or you wouldn't be here.
But when your time comes, will folks still dare to eat you?
Will they taste the Corexit? If you're fried? With a beer?

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
What were you thinkin', Ms. Lubchenco, ma'am?
