SHARK BAIT

The scent of blood

Attracts the Sharks

And Foolish Spear Fishers

Cause  attacks

They shoot the prey

In open waters

For selfish reasons

Plunder and slaughter

We have a gas economy

That booms and blooms

To set us free

But   allowances

disproportionates

Our fair shares 

Of the gas profits

Now Spear Fishers

Sit and debate

With eyes cast down

They taunt and hate

As if clueless

About that date

They ratified poor deals

With bait

Of comparative low Royalties

Which bleeds of
our economy

Till all our profits
these Sharks take

While a mere .01% 

is the state’s stake

To add to this 
we lose money 

By Weighted Average Price
on LNG 

And Transfer Prices 

From Train to Train 

Which gives these 
devious Sharks 

Much gains 

A sure case of
bad taxonomy

Has swindled
this economy

So as  this deadpool
comes to light

Let's classify
these organisms right

Bold Fishers 
must not sit and hate

Trying to pose off
 as Shark Bait
