EQUALS DISASTER
Now we’re really into safety here at the new BP
Our old engineering seems hazardous to seas
Since the mishap when our workers heard a BOOM!
And up from the sea came a troubling flume
Oil by George, Tar Balls, Toxic Tea
Well the price tag was a cool twenty billion clams
Obama said, “I’m imposing a ban!”
Said “We really need to review our policies”
But was thwarted by a judge who would rule to end the freeze
‘Drill!’ he said, ‘ go you fools, spill some more!’
What we were forced to pay for some dead old pelicans
Well we could have bought a mint, but we blindly skinned our shins
Now our competition will learn from our stupidity
And have a friggin’ field day with our dumb calamity
‘Spillbillies’, they say, what the hell, blow the lid off!
We’re real sorry now, y’hear?

love your new term: SpillBillies, Sir !
If this happened off the coast of say Saudi Arabia you could write the Bel-Arabs. I think someone came up with the term spillbillies the other day to this very OS. Still a good read. This is a fun ballad to base a parody
write. I've toyed with Jed's song a bit myself.
"troubling flume" has a nice touch. This is a five barrel carbon-ater.
I am fairly certain that the original theme for the TV show was performed by Lester Flatt and Earl Skruggs and not Jerry Scoggins.
Oh well I'm just nit pickin' and a grinnin'.
