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.
