A Natural Gas Christmas Carol, Starring Gov. Andy
An early Christmas present for New York landowners and those with an interest in drilling in New York State, provided by our friends at the Joint Landowners Coalition: a “Natural Gas Christmas Carol”. It is funny, and sad–all at the same time. Give it a read! (Hey, it’s better than a lump of coal.)
Here’s the letter and a link to the PDF from the JLCNY…

It was the night before
Christmas
and Vic was home all alone.
Not too be discouraged
he decided to polish his throne.
As he polished and shined
and sipped polish wine
he was proud where he sat
would soon have a shine.
But alas came some chatter
that thought everyone mattered.
When Cuomo was finally to say
Drilling in New York is on the
way.
There should have been laughter
There should have been Cheer
But old man Vic is a skeptic this
year.
I have heard from Cuomo all of the talk
It’s a matter of record, it’s just empty
squawk
So forgive me if I don’t believe on Christmas
Eve
A Governor who no one he’s
deceived
So as he polished and shined
and sipped polish wine
he was proud where he sat
would soon have a shine.
Vic looked back over the last 5
years
It was hard for him to hold back the
tears
Friends and family who lost so
much
The delays just mean NY is out to
lunch
Jobs once so close prosper and
wealth
not just for landowners but for all that
apply
Another Christmas come 5th year in a
row
The inaction of a governor seems all to
slow.
My Friends Jim and Ray,not here Christmas
Day
There wives left alone, waiting for prosperity and
good will
But it was NYRAD & VeRSE, Ruffalo and
Ono
They kept these landowners from paying the
bills.
Friends That I love as friends should
be
left with no place to put a Christmas
Tree
Jobs lost by the thousands here in
NY
Natural Gas opportunity was their great
hope.
Lies about air, babies, and the
water
Lies lies lies in all the
chatter
Why does Cuomo not follow the
Country
Every shale state getting gas
bounty
As he polished and shined
and sipped polish wine
he was proud where he sat
would soon have a shine
And when he’s finished Old Vic will flush
twice
not to be naughty,,, not to be
nice…
But as a salute to a State that does needlessly
wait
We can only hope Cuomo wakes before it’s too
late.
To all my friends and pro gassers
too
I wish you a Merry Christmas to you and too
yours
And for the New year soon to be
here…
No more delays Cuomo Natural Gas This
Year
Will this be narrated by Yoko Ono?
“Taylor” great poem! Dithering Andy should get a large lump of shi……er coal in his stocking.
