The shale gas bubbles
floating in the minds of some who feel
the need to offer up the fine investment
but conceal
the exaggerated profits the ratio’s don’t stand
up to the truest scrutiny
now right across the land
its all too good it seems it was
the herd mentality
investment does come at a price
profitability
is now deep in that melting pot
its because oil price is high
that it gives the lead
to the gas brigade
who on that fact rely
some have flipped their leases
that appears to be
a way out
and forget the drilling
that shows
you you can see
already its going pear shaped
shale gas comes at a price
the environment does suffer
and when it kicks off
its not nice
