The **** of the Gulf of Mexico

Writhing slimy slick snakes of oil

Around the Gulf of Greed now crawl

What we sought will consume us all.

What before was venerated

Our pristine world penetrated,

****** bodies violated,

Writhing slimy slick snakes of oil

Changing the name and so despoil.

Gulf of America? Recoil.

A despot who's addlepated

Corrupt, old, and dissipated.

Land and water desecrated.

By writhing, slimy, sick snake oil.
