The Chairman with the well

They seek him here, they seek him there
Those Yankees seek him everywhere
Is he in heaven or is he in hell?
That demned elusive Chairman with the oil well
He meddles with water, life's essence
Popping in and out each week
Spoiling every lovely press conference
La, what cheek!
They seek him here, they seek him there
Those journalists seek him everywhere
If you should see him, please do give a yell!
That demned elusive Chairman with the broken well
They seek him here, they seek him there
Obama seeks him everywhere
Oh, Carl-Henric, how everyone do implore you
Simply to come out of bed
With all your absence
It's a chore to chop your head!
They seek him here, they seek him there
The environmentalists seek him everywhere!
He give the world nothing but frustration
Sink me! He's a spoilsport
Each and every demned solicitation
He evades huddling in BP's fort
They seek him here, they seek him there
Those Shareholders seek him everywhere
Is he in heaven or is he in hell?
That demned elusive Svanberg with the well

En mild omtolkning av texten They Seek Him Here ur The Scarlet Pimpernel, som vi ju kallar Röda Nejlikan.

Med anledning av BP'ordföranden Carl-Henric Svanbergs osynlighet och uppenbara ovilja att delta i krishanteringen rörande miljökatastrofen i Mexikanska golfen. The Times och Telegraph var båda skeptiska till Svanberg redan vid utnämningen. Skepsisen ökar i samma takt som oljekällan sprutar ut olja. Att Svanberg valde att "tala ut" i ett jämförelsevis perifert svenskt medium väcker med rätta uppmärksamhet internationellt.

NY Times visar att säkerheten i projektet var tveksam redan från början.
