See title.
So, oil is expensive. And the fault
For all of it is on Obama, or
The market, or the Saudis, or the war,
Depending on the speaker. The assault
Upon the meager monetary means
To pay for gasoline is useful, though,
For politicians giving it a go,
Who blame it on incumbency, or liens
Upon Alaska’s wilderness. The truth
Is like it always is: a bit of each.
The truth is complicated, and the breach
Of fact in any summary, forsooth,
Is where we place the blame on one alone.
(At least it’s not as high here as in Rome.)
