Poetry

Oil

By Arlene Johnson

Oil, oil near and far,
Is there oil everywhere?

New drilling, drilling
Never stops.
What does this tell us?

North Sea, Nigeria, Alaska,
Iran, Iraq, Angola, and Vietnam,
Though not Malta or Palestine?

Could it be that there is oil there too?
Could be!



A little poem dedicated to the oil employees who work for weeks on end with no stop to bring the world the precious commodity. Thank you one and all.
