a guy named bob and a guy named bill
lived in a shack on top of a hill
they were watched by a guy named brad
whose binoculars were all he had
brad kept an eye on bill and bob
because it was his job
he watched their actions ebb and surge
and a certain pattern emerged
bill had the upper hand
and abused bob to beat the band
bob did all the work
and bill claimed all the perks
this went on for about a year
and brad began to fear
there was nothing more to see
in this here territory
brad was ready to move on
and then awoke at dawn
at the shack he took one last glance
and what should he see by chance
but bob pounding on bill!
suddenly the air grew still
brad looked on with surprisement
as bob gave bill his chastisement
from then on bob was king
and bill was the underling
bob cut bill no slack
and watched the sunset with his feet on bill’s back
brad made out his report
and tried to keep it short
had everything changed?
or were they still the same?
brad looked out at the sky
white clouds drifted by
somewhere a child scraped its knee
and a bird sang in a tree
