We apologize for the inconvenience
Said the man from Exxon Mobil
As the waters turn black
Pristine river full of crude
The fishes poisoned.
We apologize for the inconvenience
To grizzly bears
Who must eat poisoned fish
To Canada geese
Wings too tarred to fly
We apologize for the inconvenience
To hungry beavers
And to thirsty moose
To trees whose roots are clogged
To those who love their homes
By pure, clear river
We really apologize
For the inconvenience
To the two-legged, four legged, winged
And crawling creatures
Of this and future generations.
Oil spills are so darned inconvenient.
