Big Oil Spill
A hundred years ago we adopted an infant. We embraced, fed and educated the child – bringing him along slowly but soundly, hoping he would take care of all needs in the years to come.
Our plan worked to perfection – he fueled our cars, airplanes, lawnmowers, bulldozers.
He wrapped our food, sprayed our hair, and kept our roads smooth and mud free.
He grew tall and muscular – smart and powerful, and then it happened – he puked at the dinner table – disgusting everyone

Soon as I fill-up my old Suburban I’m gonna chase him out of town.
