Billy Bob and Jimmy Joe

by James von Dielingen 

Billy Bob and Jimmy Joe were fightin' over nuttin'

Billy Bob said Jimmy Joe had stolen his new button

Jimmy Joe said Billy Bob was crazy for accusin'

And that he was about to get a royal Jimmy bruisin'

Billy Bob would not let up until Jimmy Joe fessed up

And admitted that he stole the button and thereby he messed up

Jimmy Joe was so mad he was gonna blow a sprocket

He said that Billy Bob should check his own overall pocket

Billy Bob said that he had already checked it twice

But agreed to check it once again just to be very nice

He stuck his hand into the top and out the bottom popped

The very fingers that the pocket lining should have stopped

“I do believe you owe me an apology,” jimmy quipped

“But I'll help you in your search until each rock is rightly flipped.”

They searched the barnyard high and low and each place they'd been workin'

They simply had no idea where the button might be lurkin'

They took a rest for just a bit under their favorite tree

Jimmy Joe saw a glint of light and wondered what it could be

Billy jumped around for joy when he saw his brand new button

And apologized to Jimmy for fightin' over nuttin'
