Obama's Gulf War –
Who Needs A Relief Well?
Why should we spend the money?

We're here to tell you BP is unhappy.
We've plugged this well several times from the top
Just to make sure that it won't hurt your fishies.
Forget bottom seepage. Get yourselves a damp-mop.

Still Chu and Allen insist that we do it.
We really don't want to. Why take the chance?
These blokes that we're using? You think they're up to it?
Our lawyers are warning us these guys all freelance

And are harder to sue when something goes wrong.
Our legal department's so sure that it will.
What makes an attorney think he's Nostradamus?
So what if we have an occasional spill?

Should we have warned Chu that the blowout preventer
That's being used on RW1
Is an old model that may not have been tested?
If you recall, we were under the gun

When Allen mandated that we had to drill two
In case RW1 encountered bad luck.
One of those BOPs was robbed to pay Paul.
If this one is bad, who's the dumb hockey puck?
