Top Executives Respond to Obscene Oil Prices

The top executives of the five largest U.S. oil companies came before Congress and responded to the questions why fuel prices were so high and industry profits were so huge. Their remarks were as follows:

We feel your pain,
But oil is our gravy train.
Our profits aren't too high,
Compared to the sky.

We keep our investors happy
Although the rest of you feel crappy.
Our executive bonuses are on the rise.
Something that I know you despise.

Just wait for awhile,
And the prices will come down.
If you believe this malarkey,
You are truly a bunch of clowns.

The oil executives left the hearings feeling quite smug.
They had pulled the wool over the Congressional rug.
