BP's Christmas Gift to Us All

 I now present BP's "The Twelve Days of Christmas," in honour of this article on Business Week's website: BP Oil Leak May Last Until Christmas

Verse twelve:

On the twelfth day of Christmas, BP gave to me,
Twelve - weeks (so far!) of failure,
Eleven - pipes a-bursting,
Ten - twitterers tweeting,
Nine - months a-leaking (by Christmas!),
Eight - goodbye, endangered species,
Seven - swans a-suffocating,
Six - CEOs praying,
Five - fishermen ruuuuuined,
Four - dying birds,
Three - top kills,
Two - turtles, dead,
And an environmental catastrophe.

Alright, so a songwriter I ain't, but you get the picture.
