NOT OVER

Well they finally fixed the leak
   I know 'cause I just took a peek
   I realize that it was tough
   but it took them long enough

Do you think crises is over?
   then ask the oil coated plover
   its just the end of oil leaking
   that's not all that we are seeking

The cleanup is and always was
   primary mission of this cause
   not all oil has surfaced yet
   to threaten so much land thats wet

How long 'fore gulf folks get their wish
   to resume business and start to fish
   their entire economy
   is far from what it used to be

Does instigator expect praise?
   thats a pasture they won't graze
   praise for doing what they should !
   makes me laugh both loud and good

I share most the local's fears
   normalcy won't return for years
   who knows how long  that it will be
   before gulf is really oil-free
