Poem - The Wooden Spoon
69.
..I showed the child the wooden spoon
She laughed and said;-
“That is a modernist
symbol of oppression
whilst you may view it with nostalgia
using it on me
will result in legal action
and withdrawal of your grandparent privileges
I will also be alienated
But that is nothing new"
I bit hard on the spoon
to vent my dissatisfaction
with the post modernist regime
resolving myself to continued celibacy
to prevent a recurrence

hahaha great poem
AH! Well VENTED, Drax! Excellent. Way to take a bite!
I feel your frustration. Just glad the nuns can't use the old cane anymore. Ouch! My hands still hurt from the Sisters of Mercy in Ballaghaderreen.
Hi folks... thanks very much for the comments. I was educated by the christian brothers and they used leather straps... I can categorically state that there was nothing christian about them at all ... many of them were total sadists...
... Drax ...
Isn't praise the new discipline?
Hiya Paul... perhaps it is, is then the absence of praise sufficient to produce behavioural change, one wonders...
Interesting how each generation has a different view of what discipline is.
Sometimes a good spanking does the job. Let's be honest, no?

very true, we can do nothing to reprimand our kids these days.
