NATURAL GAS RUSH

Drillers the earth impale
Into the Marcellus shale
Near Houston, an old steel burg
And neighbor of Pittsburgh.
Natural gas their coming hails.

Exploration is in full bloom.
Houston is the center of the boom.
It isn't done by stealth.
Landowners hope for wealth.
For drillers, the diner makes room.

Houston's serenity is gone
As drill bits cut into stone.
Tankers clog roads for miles.
Gas men wearing smiles
Talk on their cell phones.
