It was not the kind of tea party we had expected <br />An uncontrollable stream of Black Gold bubbling forth <br />From the depths over the horizon <br /> <br />This toxic soup swirled and churned in sea currents <br />Threatened each and every aqua marine inhabitant <br />While the devastation was most evident <br />When Black turned the beaches, swamplands and coastline <br /> <br />It's so last century, this Oil we depend on <br />With so many viable alternatives on the horizon. <br /> <br />© Calac <br /> <br /> <br />Texas Tea: Informal: Petroleum, oil drilled from the Earth <br />Black Gold: Informal Petroleum<br /><br />Chris Lane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/texas-tea-brewed-in-the-gulf-of-mexico/
