Obama's Gulf War –
Waiting On BP
For relief wells to connect

How stupid to wait for a firm like BP
To drill two relief wells miles under the sea
When we should have mandated that both be drilled
Along with the one they exploded and spilled.

Three or four months of just hoping their plan
Will succeed where so far it's been catch-as-catch-can?
And this with the most inept oil firm on record.
No other comes close to a record this checkered.

So we sit here and wait while knowing they might
Continue to miss it if they had it in sight.
But they don't, and it's dark, and they're so damned inept –
How long dd Barack say that Ken should be kept?

How long can Salazar let Lord Browne's boys try?
How long till the oil field they've tapped will run dry?
And how many more wells must BP explode
So BlackRock can pocket all dividends owed?
