Obama's Gulf War –
Fear For The Gulf
And of BP's "expertise"

How many relief wells has Wells ever dug?
These two in the Gulf may well be his first.
Is that why Bob Dudley's escaping to Russia?
Should BlackRock investors be expecting the worst?

Wells once said relief wells were the only sure way
Of plugging their bad well to be sure it stays plugged.
But now Kent's suggesting that perhaps they won't need to.
Are they taught at BP that we'd all be drugged

By a partial success in capping the well
So they needn't keep spending on drilling relief,
Where they're using the same model blowout preventer
Just to cut corners but risk causing more grief,

Perhaps not tomorrow but some time in the future?
Their cap's not that tight which they won't let us see,
And who's sure their annulus can withstand more pressure?
Please tell us we won't let these birds off scot-free.
