In grades 1 - 12 he was an apt little learner
His hard work helped him to become a large wage earner
He studied lots and obeyed his teachers
With the zeal that the religious do their preachers
He took notes and did homework aplenty
Was done with school 3 years 'fore age 20
First he worked with a car mechanic
Before he was involved with things satanic
He was a fervent man who worked well with machines
He would cheat a customer by no means
Soon hard work paid off and his position began to rise
Until it became Owner's size
Under his leadership his company began to grow
It got larger and larger and never did slow
Soon the business went World Wide
So he had to decide
To take his company public and sell some stock
Investors, excited, came by the flock
He retired young, a billionaire
Racecar driver, philanthropist, playboy extraordinaire
Time came and then it went
He grew old and bent
He began to feel fear
That the time of his death was coming near
He turned out the lights and in the dark spoke this evil vow
He said to satan "Make me young, healthy, strong forever, do it now"
He said "Then you may have anything of mine you desire"
Then satan himself appeared in a cloud of fire
satan said "So shall it be"
Vanished and dark was all the man could see
Turned on the light and saw
The words of the devil were now law
He was young, strong, and hale
All thanks to the works of him they called Baal
And so he lived forever with the human race
Outliving the sun, flying in spaceships all over the place
In a reasonable mood of happiness or at least contentment forever
THE END

What has space to do with pace?
As the author isn't deciding spacing my place?
I'm glad you think I saved face
And what the fuck do you mean "UPPER CASE"

this woulda had a better pace

by not using UPPER CASE
