Greenbach

A 16 year old apprentice Fresh to working underground Miners telling tragic stories Of bodies never found . Greenbach was a huge man Working only in his boots and belt For every scar on his naked body He had a horror story to tell. Each designed to give nightmares To the apprentice as he slept but the apprentice swore to avenge himself and his promises he kept . He noticed at lunchtime Greenbach dined alone For fifteen minutes every day He heard that snoring drone . This was the perfect time The apprentice made his plan Tomorrow Greenbach you are mine This Mountie will get his man . That afternoon at the joke shop He see's the Halloween masks in their rows The apprentice finds a beauty With no eyes , No mouth , No nose. A good handful of his mothers wool Made a mop of bright red hair He's ready for the morning When greenbach takes his chair . The buzzer on the tannoy Announced lunchtime had come The lads see him getting ready and egg our apprentice on . The 16 year old is nervous but he turns his headlamp onto dim Creeps up to the snoring Grrenbach and sits down next to him . Though only minutes it seems like hours but the apprentice sits without a sound The lads hidden behind the timber That is scattered all around. First we heard the buzzer Then the scream as Greenbach ran arggggghhhhhhhhhhhh Someone effing help me A bully became just another man . Greenbach wasn't happy When he discovered what the apprentice had done but that huge wobbling beer belly became the object of so much fun Eventually the anger Would begin to slide but Greenbach now takes his lunch with his workmates and sits with a man on either side.
