The Redundant Fist
There was once a day
there most
certainly was, way back
in the day, that is ..
When his word was nowt
but a clip
round the proverbial ear ..
Until it occurred
to them both, that is ..
You get just one crack of
the whip
nowadays, and any old way
it’s pointless, to try
and rule, entirely by fear ..

Thank you Mr. O
A lot to think about here, Neville.
Good morning-read.
Cheers Jez .. I am delighted that you ee it that way sir ................. Neville
Having grown up in an era of spankings and hand slapping I can definitely relate to this. The blow tells you that you did something wrong, but it doesn't explain the better way. And that feeling as your being turned over the knee, or the sting of a palm against your fingers is confusing for a child. I guess I think that words can often teach more than blows, especially when there is good thought behind them. Good write my friend!
I agree wholeheartedly Bella .......... thank you kindly .. Neville
Ah yes, here you amplify the benefits of having social issues brought into our living rooms upon that screen we mock and abuse so often.
It has given us the conscience and awareness denied our forebears.
Yet sadly we stab, murder, rape and abuse. Have we become a society split down it's middle.
Half of me wants to say ........................................ maybe .. the other half wholly agrees ..
So good to see you mate, I hope things are getting better .......... Neville
Good words Neville, I totally agree with what Fay has said.
