Sometimes funny Looking back Flailing parents Trying to do The right thing In the process of Making their children right They were kids too When you think about it No training Just learning on the job The pear tree Offered answers Three foot shoots Growing out at the ground Were the right medicine Go pick a switch Bring it in Then we’ll punish you We were wise Beyond our years The softest switch We picked for her She was smart Handed it back Get a tougher one, sir We were not in danger Fear was on their side The promise to be good Saved us and our hide The leather belt would Give us a scare Now it’s a blur and We don’t really care They are missed now What could be more fair?
