Up From the Sea Comes a Bubbling Crude
Do you remember the Beverly Hillbillies?
When Jed shot the ground,
Oil produced without a sound,
They capped that up quick,
They didn’t even damage the fish,
So tell me,
If a bunch of hillbillies,
Came together,
Could they stop a leak?
That seems to go on forever,
Black gold gushing in our waters,
Damage from below,
Ever getting worst,
And no one is taking control,
With all the technology,
And all the great minds,
We cannot figure out,
How to cap a pipe????
