Oil Production

Peanut oil begins from under the soil, Sunflower oil is distilled by the boil. We use these to cook, I thought then I shook. By gosh! How do they make baby oil?

Well, baby oil is a by-product of the production of gasoline. It is a petroleum product like Vaseline ..Sara

Thank you Sara … I imagined that baby oil might have been a refined plant extraction due to the skin of a baby, but of course it doesn't surprise me after reading your explanation - thanks again Sara - Lindsay

That is a very valid question in your poem. I wrote a poem about witches and babies last year, a somewhat blood thirsty write I think its production is a tight secret - well penned Lindsay!

Hello Jennifer ... yes, I read your scary verse. Perhaps it's a witch that produces baby oil ... eke! Lindsay
