Bully
There once was a bully who ruled
Thinking, man, he had everyone fooled.
He did as he pleased
With the power he seized
Sure that he’d never be ridiculed.
But the people who suffered his blows
Were delighted at what I suppose
Was a foolish mistake
For a bully to make
That reporters found ways to expose.
Now the papers all print up the news
Leaving readers to weigh things and choose
If this bully should leave
For most opt to believe
Such behavior he cannot excuse.
The moral, of course, hits a nerve
For most bully-types rarely observe
That they cannot defend
Hurting those they offend
And their punishment’s what they deserve.
