Obama's Gulf War –
Robbing Peter to Pay Paul
Does BP dare?

Hey, look again! Where's our second relief well?
Is BP suddenly cocky or what?
Are they planning to borrow its blowout preventer?
Instead of a new one, will they use what they've got?

Cheaper? You betcha. Why rent another?
Wherever possible, try to make do.
Will they again be allowed to cut corners?
How great they're so sure they won't need Number Two.

So who's to complain if they're robbing their Peter
To pay their Paul whose own wouldn't close?
Why should we worry? Relief wells can't fail.
Not when they're drilled by such consummate pros.

To "Admiral Allen said that once the new preventer —
       which was used by the rig drilling a backup relief well —
       was installed..."
