2662. Oil Barons' warrens

Downtown Tulsa's akin to a ship
Where this morning we'll walk a tour trip.
Down under her gunwhales
Are
several tunnels
For giving kidnappers the slip.
Waite and brother Frank Phillips founded Phillips Petroleum.  W.G. Skelly, Josh Cosden, and J. Paul Getty were other filthy-rich Tulsans of the early 20th century, when the city was known as "The Oil Capital of the World."
