Obama's Gulf War –
Twenty-four Tankers
What could BP be doing that they are not?

Try twenty-four tankers that BP could use
To suck up their oil spill if they were inclined?
In light of the size of their current disaster,
The fact that they're not really boggles the mind.

Twenty-four of their own making them so much money -
Why is the cost of the spill a concern?
Yet having seen all the risks they have taken,
Someone must think they have money to burn.

Don't they want us to know the extent of their spill?
At times it has seemed as if possibly not
Is that why the capping has been unsuccessful?
What they capture by capping could tell us a lot.

So before they are fined forty-three hundred
Dollars per barrel of oil they pollute
The Gulf and environs with for years and years,
Tankers sucking it up could be their strongest suit.
