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.
