"Oil Moguls vs. Greenland" (Would a re-enactment of Lot's wife convince the G.O.P.?) Who's a representative member of Congress? Is somebody average? Is someone a star? Does it depend on what he can do for you? Doesn't it somewhat depend on who you are? Oil moguls? that's easy. Who's for cheap drilling rights? Rant Paul? Jimmy Inhofe? If you give them a taste. Slow down! Stop! Back up! Not quite so fast. We hate to see your money just going to waste. Oil moguls, you demons, it's clearly your fault That Greenland's an Ice cube just loaded with salt, And that you and your minions drill worldwide for oil To help Greenland's ice melt and ultimately boil. Boiling saltwater leaves residues of sea salt, The type of salt favored by cooks and gourmets, Which we're told are bad for us in so many ways. Cardiologists agree that you lose by default. Desalination of Greenland? Have you seen Greenland's size? Nor have Inhofe and Paul, but they think contrariwise. They don't believe that mere mortals could make it melt. With what wimpy oil moguls have the two of them dealt? But still they buy stories of Lot's wife's salty demise. Tell them, oil moguls. Make clear who you are. Who cares about them? Each of you is the star. Show them you're not playing a tisket, a tasket, That you could blow them to, uh, hell in a handbasket.
