Fool me once, they say.
I say: the fools deserved it.
  I can clearly see the link
   Between oil and crime.
     The criminal is oily.
    They rely on snake oil.
  They sell oil to the Arabs.
They rub oil into their skin.
  I would say the criminal
    Is black like crude oil,
     But the criminal can
       Also be green like
       Good old olive oil,
         Lavender oil,
           Chip fat.
            Fooled!
            Shame
            On me.
