The Squeaky Wheel

There was a squeaky little wheel On the train that moved in place Other wheels clicked spokes and sighed,  Yet he showed not a bit of grace.  He shimmied and creaked,  whined and bemoaned the others watched carefully  as their duty they droned.  He quite often received  attention and grease.   Oil was poured liberally  The conductor toiled to appease.                If a little squeak was rewarded with such abundant care What notice would more bring while others worked without fanfare?              So he murmured and wobbled, groaned and abased The others watched bemused as he was finally........ replaced
