Obama's Gulf War –
Tugboat Annie
Faces a smaller world

The Gulf is so tiny and has so many wells
That it's tough for a tugboat to not hit a few
Yet Salazar wants to let BlackRock drill more –
What's he expect Tugboat Annie to do?

They're a beautiful sight and she makes it look easy,
But tugboats with barges don't turn on a dime.
You stick too many of those damn oil wells out there
And some of those barges could get covered with slime.

But 'tis said unless BlackRock's BP resumes drilling,
Oil spills in the gulf could be catch-as-catch-can.
So Jindal's and Barbour's job stimulus efforts
Can't hinge on the whims of Lord Browne's fellowman.

But since none of the latest three spills equal BP's.
Most fishermen want to get back to their fish.
That's not going to happen if Jindal and Barbour
Get BlackRock's BP to help thwart that wish,

Watch how Tony's departure leaves the Gulf out of work
While Bobby continues to build his sand berms.
Say farewell to clear sailing for most Tugboat Annies.
Sayonara, Ye Olde GOP Pachyderms.
