Early and often as oil is
The life blood for all play and toil.
We put the big in big oil biz.
Americans care not of waste,
As long as we get all we crave.
Hypocritical and two faced,
We preach to others what to save.
Americans pigged out at home,
Then went on sprees around worldwide.
The fall of the empire of Rome -
We are slipping down the same slide.

Americans won’t sacrifice
Craving for oil at any price.

Everyone, that is, except oilmen.
Given any other choice, no rational oil explorer would opt for the perils of deep-sea drilling. Because of unrealistic and unending government sanctions against taking oil where it is far less hazardous to get, the Gulf of Mexico is now filling with oil.
