Obama's Gulf War –
Semper Paratus, Admiral Allen
But the Dynamic Duo's BP conspiracy's too much

"Semper Paratus, Admiral Allen.
Just go along with what BP might want."
What idiots told him appeasing the culprit
Would be what his role was as faux commandant?

Were Jackson and Salazar shifting the blame?
Was Allen prepared for what they had in mind?
The Dynamic Duo was deceptively devious.
How could they make sure he was caught in a bind?

Just lowball the flow rate so he'd lack the skimmers
And be tricked into using dispersants and mud
That Tony could claim he thought were non-toxic,
Knowing that no one could clean up the crud.

It's becoming too toxic for mere mortals to handle
Without respirators and protective gear.
A dead Gulf's essential so sloppy oil drillers
Have no bleeding hearts or live wildlife to fear.

The Duo's next target will be the East Coast.
But how's Martha's Vineyard to get off scot-free?
Wind farms and oil booms protecting the shoreline –
Oh, and Allen's "best" drillers, his chums at BP.
