His ways he will mend

Funny how they always say...
change is the only constant
the Zebra who oversaw my post...
decided his job just wasnt important

He's leaving us for the unknown...
right here on our pasture
aft all the pretence his cover blown...
hope he aint courting disaster

His story my friends,...... hasnt come to an end
his story wont drive you up the bend

I remember the first time I saw him...
eating at the cafeteria
The outgoing boss from then...
was in a hurry to let him inherit his area

The man we judged to be a zebra...
wore his stripes on his sleeve
whenever he was confronted with someone peculiar...
he made himself their pet peeve

It didnt matter if Mr.P was the designated CEO...
or his daydreaming flunky
whats right is right and he had ta fight...
even if he ended up looking like a monkey

His story my friends,...... hasnt come to an end
his story wont drive you up the bend

The assignments new...
his manager old, the garden snake now a viper
Thrown the gauntlet our old friend...
aint making sense of what to decipher

One wishes and hopes that he does well...
cause us he did treat me and my boys like his family
his possible success in his new cell..
might rub off on us, like ours did on him finally

Despite the spirit, that we all shared...
he chose to move away without letin us know whats in his head

His story my friend,...... hasnt come to an end
his story wont drive you up the bend,
one prays that his ways he will mend

His story my friend,...... hasnt come to an end
his story wont drive you up the bend,
one prays that his ways he will mend
