Obama's Gulf War –
How Much Is Spilling?
British Petroleum sees no need to say

"If you can't tell us how much we've been spilling,
What in the world makes you think we'll be willing
To clean up much more than a very small mess
When what you're suggesting is at best a guess?

"We've carefully kept all your spies at a distance
With what Tony Hayward calls passive resistance.
We've told you we're too busy plugging the leak,
Knowing your guessers will end up the creek.

"No way they'll know how much we're allocating
Louisiana vs. Britain's Gulf Stream.
We've thousands of Britons who'll be dedicating
Their lives to retrieving tar balls with our team.

"Since toxic dispersants aren't legal in Britain,
We won't be cleaning the white cliffs of Dover;
And sludge in the bayou that Landrieu's permittin'
Is something, she's told us, she's sure she'll get over."
