He Thinks He Owns the Joint

  
     Fastidious to a fault
       Precise to a point
     My accountant thinks
        he owns the joint

     Yet he forgets, so easily
        how he got his job
     My customers pay his salary
        though from them he’d steal and rob

Hmmm so he is not an honest accountant? Perhaps you will influence his change in character. You sir are quite noble!
