Tar Balls

I wrote this a rew weeks ago - I don't know why I didn't post it then.
The tar balls are coming
To a beach near you soon
They’ll float in on the tide
They’ll be sticky by noon
The marshlands and wildlife
Are facing their doom
The tar balls are coming
To a beach near you soon

This oil spill is big
They say bigger than most
The oil has spread out now
From pillar to post
They are trying to stop it
So don’t give up the ghost
But the tar balls are forming
Down in the Gulf coast

The when and the where
Is a factor of weather
The wind and the rain
Will soon come together
To scatter the oil spill
To who knows wherever
No fur coat is safe
No birds of a feather

I don’t know about you
Or just what your stance is
On oil from the land
Or off coast expanses
Let’s just hope soon
There’ll be drilling advances
Cause the way it now stands
We take too many chances
