Obedience Training

 

 

Get on your knees and beg me

Ask me to forgive,

You were so sure you’d pegged me

Knew just how far I’d give.

 

You never thought to question

Never wondered why,

What gave you the impression

I’d swallow whole your lies?

 

It’s bad enough to find out

Love was just a word,

Your gold has all been mined out

And me the last who heard.

 

My friends all knew before me

Didn’t dare to say,

That my own private fruit tree

Was giving plums away.

 

Sleeping with your ex-lover

And a friend or two,

I caught you undercover

And now I’m on to you.

 

I haven’t yet decided

What to do with you,

Affection undivided

Is just the least I’m due.

 

If you get down on four legs

Kowtow like a hound

And show me how a dog begs,

I might keep you around.
