To the Gulf of Mexico (To Be Renamed Gulf of Dead Silence)

Sweet Empty gulf farewell all the animals I've known so well adrift among the lifeless waves corroding in the grim sun's rays. Oh the dim murk reeks of death the odors cause my nose distress I'll never see the water blue consumed forever by BP's Crude. - To every animal that has swam, trot, or flew I bid thee all adieu I'll miss you.
