Obama's Gulf War –
BP's November Relief Wells
Why take a chance?

Will this coming November be special or what?
Mid-term elections and a war with Iran;
And BP's relief wells that plug up Macondo
Soon after the end of the Salazar ban.

Why imperil good-byes to the drill moratorium?
Why put more deepwater drilling at risk?
After the ban who will care if the Gulf
Resembles a 10w30 crab bisque?

One thousand barrels of oil in the annulus
That BP claims Allen has made them seal in?
More mud in the bottom and where'll it pop out?
Kent Wells has gone AWOL to alert next of kin.

Now Allen sees problems with the 'flex joint' and 'riser
Adapter', and the blowout preventer's 'transition spool'.
With a little more pressure they could become gushers –
And they'd still lift the ban? He's not that big a fool.

Would you take a chance just to please Bobby Jindal
So he can take credit for more skimmer jobs?
How would Gibbs play to 'professional lefties'
If before the election they were seeing more globs?
