Clean and sharp. "Three bullracks (?) [exchanging] lines over the two way" is great. Plural kings? Quibble, quibble, nit, pick (hey, it's what I do). I like the haiku-like approach you took here.

bullracks are aluminum-sided farm animal hauler type thingys.
A trailer used for transporting farm animals. The (drivers?) were singing one line at a time. I dislike my job. It has its moments though. Thanks for the input. home soon. will try to fix.
