Your Kingdom for our Lake

What’s a fair trade for our Great Lake?

         The British Isles and William Blake!

Oil slicks floating on our fair pond?

         We’d sooner see BP running aground!

Mercury, toxins and damaged brains,

         Nature wiped out by sewage drains.

Why spoil our water, air and soil

         Just so the cats can get fatter on oil?

All the English treasures they could trade

        Won't make up for the messes they've made.

Not here, BP, on our Lake Michigan
         Go somewhere else; don't kill the fish again.

Clean energy is what we need - 
         Switch now, BP, and take the lead!

The whole world will thank you.
