billy brown was a guy
with a twinkle in his eye
he had no subterfuge or guile
and the sight of a pretty girl made him smile
the inspector made his report
sweet and short
the seventh son of a seventh son
and a bit of a simpleton
means no one no harm
and has a tattoo on his arm
proclaiming his love for his mother
he seems to have no other
particular point of view
and if he were you
and you were he
life would be something of a mystery
that may be true, the angel replied
gazing through the window outside
as oceans rolled and armies clashed
planets dissolved and lightning flashed
but if he were you
what would you do?
if you were him
would not your prospects be dim?
they had had this conversation before
but nobody kept score
the demon did not fly into a rage
but silently turned the page
