Walter walked over to Alfred
and asked him
to mix up the soap
when he got the chance
and Alfred said
sure he’d do it
when he got the chance
but he never did it
so Walter walked over to Ronald
and said
Ron why don’t ya make the soap up
when ya through what ya doin
and Ronald said
fuck you Walter
of course
Ronald went and mixed up the soap
when he got the chance
Walter noticed it too
they didn’t make Walter
the boss for nothing
