Impatience

Victims claim the well must be capped
Zapped off by their hands two times clapped 
But oil will still leak
While their talking heads speak
Logic tapped from minds that have snapped 
 

Author's note:  Are the people on this site too high class to know about the clapper?  I thought this was funny????

The ground work is done for a fine limerick, may I help? How about: Victims claim the well be worked on by cappers Zapped off by their hands two time clapper-ed But oil will still leak While their talking heads speak Logically tapped minds, sit back eating snapper

Where are you from , Duke? It has got to be a cultual thing. I am not high class by any means, but for me, clap means either to applaud or also the name of a sexual disease!!
