BP's Svanberg Lays an Egg

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: June 20, 2010

Small people? How about all people?...

Ya sure, ya betcha folks are steamed
down in the humid South.
And all because that BP Swede
inserted foot in mouth.

He said he cares for small people.
Did he mean common folk?
Perhaps! But such a careless crack
felt like a cruel joke.

If people of the Gulf are small,
that means that BP's big.
A big gigantic toxic pain.
Just like their leaking rig.

Carl-Henric Svanberg laid an egg.
I'd say he cooked his goose
along with all our shrimp and prawns
in waters colored puce.

And while it's good to care for those
that some prejudge as small,
my goal in life is not to judge
but care for one and all.
