Discipline Of Children Poem by Alma F. Martin

A parent is such a villain
When lifting a hand to their children

Out of control these kids they be
Drugged up at school costs a fee

To society that is, by dropping out
But nay, no parent should doubt

That in spanking a child should not be a route.

Ah yes, an unruly child shall turn
away from err, when the posterior is churned.

I myself have a few times felt
a love so great that came from the belt.

And yes, I too, to this day, have born no crime
& choose to love that child of mine

In such a way that bears no harm
but surely it does work like a charm.
