Shale and hearty
Oh Appalachia, you gas rich land!
With much shale, well, though no oil sand,
Where acreage changes many a hand,
Tracked by Analysts : Senior and,
Junior, such as Ashwin Ravikumar and his colleagues in Bombay.
God bless you Gulf of Mexico!
Gave life to Apache, El Paso and Anadarko,
But with the dropping rig count,
Your troubles do mount,
Seems like the days of conventional drilling are numbered.
-THE END-
Commentary for the moronic uninitiated:
Conventional drilling in US was centered around Gulf of Mexico but those reserves are fast shrinking, so now they are drilling into solid rocks ("Shale"). I have made liberal use of poetic license: for example, days of conventional drilling are far from numbered.

O Ashwin, why do you so toil
to compose poems reg. oil?
To new depths do you sink
Do you perhaps need another drink?
I've had plenty of alcohol
Responding now to conscience's call
Hence I'm able to a good poem compose
This should do for now I suppose :P

LOL Max :) BTW, a brilliant expose into the dazzling world of derivatives is probably coming up next. Just you wait, the "Collected Poems" would be on WSJ book of the year or something.
surprisingly decent post.. :P.. except that "and" used for the rhyme.. and putting in yr name.. screwed up the meter.. brilliant one madhav :)
Yea yea. The "and" and "Ashwin Ravikumar" was used to make it cheesy. You manage to completely miss the point as always. Just like your last comment when you expected I dunno what..some Karl Marxian idealogy..when I was furiously ranting about Arsenal's sad loss. Hah..this should put you in your place.
