Sing A Song Of Spillage Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Sing A Song Of Spillage



Sing a song of spillage
A tanker's fouled the shore;
Four and twenty blackbirds -
They were white before, -

When oil slick was syphoned
Some slime was sucked for sure,
remainder no disaster fund
could suitably assure.



first stanza Frank JACOBS 1929_2021
second stanza added 23 July 2001 JR
