william made a sandwich
he ate half and saved the other
when he was born
he had a father and a mother
he was born in america
the greatest of nations
but he did all things
in moderation
he looked both ways
when he crossed the street
he hoped some day
a nice girl to meet
across the street
lived a man named joe
but unlike william
he did not go with the flow
joe was different
from his fellow creatures
but on the surface
he had regular features
joe had a secret
held tight in his brain
he was emperor of portugal
and king of spain
a distant galaxy
was down the street
he walked past it every morning
with shoes on his feet
whenever he saw william
joe ignored him but good
and felt that he did not belong
in the neighborhood
williiam and joe
were separated at birth
joe got the sky
and william got the earth
