Obama's Gulf War –
God Save The Queen
And Wall Street from BP and Gaddafi

How brave of the British to risk letting BP
Drill for oil in the Libyan part of the Med.
As soon as they screw up, as they always do,
How many Brits will Gaddafi want dead?

Who will he want in exchange for the Libyan
Drillers that BP "accidentally" explodes?
Lords Brownie and Hayward and Lamar what's-his-name?
Or will he settle for sev'ral planeloads

Of BP investors who've gambled and lost,
Whose free flights to the Gulf will doom all on-board
With the BBC asking, "Will they be ransomed?
Be tortured? Beheaded? Or put to the sword?"

Can you imagine a livelier outcome?
BP investors all slathered in tar?
Bombed out of the sky by Muammar Gaddafi
While Haley Barbour cries, "Come as you are."
