EPA Errs With 3 Million Gallons Of Waste

When it comes to turning trees into burdensome regs on paper
The EPA is without match with skills that expand and do not taper
When it comes to protecting the environment with their own acts
Basic skills come up short for private sector experience they lack
The photos coming out of Colorado look like a scene from the Wizard of Oz
But not Dorothy and her friends singing on the yellow brick road but color from another cause
The EPA trying pump waste from an abandoned mine made a grave pressure calculation error
Three million gallons of contaminated yellow colored water released in a new environmental terror
Will anyone involved be disciplined? Most likely that will be a  fat chance
A beautiful Lake Powell lying in the path of the contaminated river’s advance
Accidents happen but a lot of tourist dollars depend on an unyellowed Lake Powell
Already the sharks on land are starting the litigation howls
