COMPLIANCE
Said Rockefeller, senior, to his boy:“Be good and you shall have eternal joy.”
Said Rockefeller, junior, to his dad:
“I never do a single thing that's bad.”
Said Rockefeller, senior—long gone gray
In service at the altar: “Ever pray.”
And Rockefeller, junior, being bid,
Upon his knees and neighbors ever did.
