Dear Editor:
Sing these lyrics to the Limbo Rock.I call it the B.P. Rock.Now all the dolphins, birds, and fishHave a sad tale for all to hearThey cannot stop this mighty sludgeDestroying everything that's dear.A real environmental mess that's creeping slowly to your dockA real environmental mess, yeah, mon, we dance the B.P. Rock.How low can you go?Both man and beast are mighty hotThe pristine beaches all but shotNo one knows what the hell to doAn ecosystem steep in gooOur waters all but ruined, the manatees in shockOur waters all but ruined, yeah, mon, we dance the B.P. Rock.How low can you go?Respect the waters and the earthIt was here before your birthNow who is next on the list?What will it take to be p...ed?We have to stand up for onceAnd give greed a good clean sockWe have to stand up for onceOr else we'll dance the B.P. Rock!By Mary Ellen LisciandraJim Thorpe
