Scott Harlib Poet I do not know?

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????

Joseph Spence Sr June 23, 2010 at 10:40 AM This is right on the money. It's incredible to see how the oil is flowing and under which table it goes. I bet many palms have lots of grease. Great job! Joseph
