Obama's Gulf War –
A Swiss Navy Problem
Transocan Ltd. dividend is denied

The Swiss have a Navy they don't want in the news.
But the world knows it's Swiss. It's headquartered in Zug.
You think they've misgivings about its reputation?
When they're asked about it, most Swiss merely shrug.

It's not even allowed to fly the Swiss flag.
How's that for a sign of how much they're ashamed?
For when and wherever there's a drilling disaster,
Their Swiss Navy is one of the first to be blamed.

BP or Transocean. They're in a league of their own.
Among major oil spillers they're the crème de la crème.
Ev'ry novice oil spiller who's just getting started
Knows they could do a lot worse than to look up to them.

Transocean and Shell dodged the bullet not that
So long ago drilling in the North Sea.
But they managed to make their blowout preventer
Work. But you need to remermber, it was Shell not BP.

So why would you drill with Transocean's Swiss?
Even more to the point, why with Britain's BP?
Yet had they been together, they could have helped Moses.
With their usual spills they'd have paved the Red Sea.
