He bullies and jostles Our chaotic hand. Now Chief MAA Wilson, The HSheriH7' he is. Whose theory on diesel Don t amount to a uFizz. Now into this scene Chief Ward, he does enter- Adjusting his hat He yells, uFront and center. You look at our work, Then start to scream. It looks like a part Of a uSurrealist's Dream. It's lopsided, crooked And frail as a feather, 1 And you wonder to God 1 What holds it together. 5 2: -1 So we pull into port 5 Tho we're long overdue ,Cause the HR Division .lust wouldn't turn to.
