Spanking

I spanked a little boy last night
I tho't I was doing right,
I tho't that I was punishing
A little boy for some wrong thing.

Today I bought a ball and kite
For that same boy I spanked last night
Bought marbles, tops, and every thing
To counteract the punishing

You see, through tears, this little lad
Tried hard to smile, and then said "Dad",
"Will spanking make me good, like you"
I think you would have bought things, too.
