’Twas the year before Christmas, when all through the patch
Hardly a rig was stirring, thanks to the oil price crash
COVID had come, and the workers went home
Executives soon realized they needed a loan
The executives read Oil and Gas Investor with care
In hopes that U.S. shale would not stay a bear
EFT laughed as companies came up short
And chastised everyone’s earnings report
Then Biden had come, as some had feared
With visions of making for difficult years
But would he succeed, they asked with a sneer
Then read this report, and let out a cheer
In a minute they realized they still had a chance
They just needed to learn how to take a better stance
ESG rose to the top of their minds
Surely, it could get them out of this bind
They consolidated and merged, and then they combined
While bankruptcies drove reporters out of their minds
They started talking nat gas, that transitional fuel
When they realized the opportunity, they started to drool
Would going low-carbon help, they wanted to see
And wondered what the outlook for midstream would be
They tried to sleep but their excitement grew
It may be bad now but they were hardly blue
For they heard the thump and knew it was him
They tried to see but the sky was so dim
Even though it was dark, they could still hear him say
Cash flow, cash flow, cash flow is the way
Comforted and calmed, they shed a happy tear
For prices should rise and it will soon be a new year.
