Virtue outlasted.
                                                              Where there's greener pastures, greener pastures, too.

                                                                                  There's a shepherd modest and true.
                                                                                  He wakes at fluorescent sky's peak;
                                                                                never dies, never thinks of the bleak.

                                                                          Looks abroad, gives glance to a neighbor
                                                                                bathing in gems of sparkling splendor.

                                                                              Not content, he tends to his sheep,
                                                                                  nd glares at the other man's heap.


                                                                      There once was a shepherd modest and true.
                                                                      But there's greener pastures, greener pastures, too.
