Sarcasm of a Naturist Fanatic (Oil)

Fly little seagull, fly with your oily wings
Or have some tasty dead oily fish 
It will slip down the throat with ease 
We humans call it a Gulf oil spill dish

We humans all love to go to the beach 
Lay there all oiled up and  tan
Why cannot the birds and fish 
The Gulf oil will help it really can

The governments allow us to chop the trees
Destroying the rain forests with axes
Why not a little oil spill
They’ll cover it by raising taxes

So don’t pay any attention to the Gulf
And the life destroyed by the oil spill
Just lay back relax and enjoy
We’ll mop it up later just chill

Great use of satire, Sidney. BP cannot make up for the devastation to wildlife as well as the tourism industry. Brilliant writing! Love, Carolyn
