Afternoon Swim In The Nude

An angst poem.

Afternoon Swim In The Nude

 

How rude to spill

 your black crude

into my beautiful

 ocean blue.

 

My plans for

an ocean barbecue

are skewed, for

if I light a match

near the ocean now

I could be

blown in two.

 

We should

pour all of you

British Petroleum

 executives nude into

 the black oily

ocean and let you swim

 around in the black soup

of gulf crude with the

fish and other wild life,

then you might have

a new attitude.

 

Of course we'd

have the cooped

up convicts

wash you down

with DAWN,

when you were

through with your

swim of

the afternoon

in the oily

black crude.

Well written and well deserved rant..........seeing the awful disaster and terrible damage has been sad, years of ruin.The first paragraph sums it up! Great flow and imagination.

Such a disaster in the gulf...your poem is funny in a way, yet serious, too. Thanks for sharing.

I dare say some of those blokes might rather enjoy the DAWN part.
I work on Alaska's North Slope... BP's attitude is unique to that company. The rest of the producers here in Alaska actually care about keeping the oil inside the pipe.
Great rant!
