No Plagiarising Please (A Shared Father/Daughter Exercise)

Once it’s gone you’ll never get it back
            Perhaps another option that we will never lack.
One choice is underground the deeper the better
            Or up on the surface that is wetter than wetter
This is black as coal, we call it Texas tea.
            The other H2O gives life to you and me.

Powering our cars and warming are homes
            Quenching our thirst down to our bones
Burning this fuel make the air bitter
            The other floods the land while drowning the critters
When the oil runs out, we don’t know the hour
We’ll have to make the switch to hydroelectric power
