1)
at dinner
the kid asks Dad:
*“Dad, do caterpillars
taste good to eat?”*
“Be quiet,” says Dad
*“I’ve told you many times
never talk crude”*
“Yeah, Jason,” interjects
Dad’s darling little girl
“Never talk crude”
*“Yeah, but I only asked cos
I just saw Dad eat
his salad
and the wriggling caterpillar;
and Dad even licked his lips
straight after”*
Dad orders the kid
straight up to bed –
and not to come down
till morning
2)
Seconds later
Jason hollers
from upstairs:
*“Dad, can you bring me
a glass of water?”*
Dad screams:
“Shut up and sleep!”
A minute later
Jason hollers again:
*“Dad, can you bring me
a glass of water?”*
“One more word from you,”
screams Dad
*“and I’ll come up there
and spank you!”*
And swift comes Jason’s reply:
*“Dad, when you come up to spank me
can you bring me a glass of water?”*
