After the stock take

Spider Webb was looking keen;
after three hours, he silenced the team.
Tarzan was stunned; "Man I'm hot"
he winked at Gladys: " Certainly not!"
The ceiling was full and, always aware,
but no one could see beyond there.
It was over. Make no mistake:
The floor filled
after the stock take.

Empty boxes gave a plea.
So Tarzan said " leave it to me".
Radio playing, the mood was still,
the door opened, in walked Bill.
" All over lads, let's get to the pub"
" before we go, rustle up some grub".
It's finished. Ain't no mistake.
The floor was deserted
after the stock take.
