A Jackass Caught In a Hailstorm

A Jackass Caught in a Hailstorm By Elton Camp Most who offend me, I can hold back So, from them I don’t take much slack It’s usually enough if I just coldly say, “How do you dare talk to me this way.” My position often carried some power So that those around me in fear cower I had influence on who was to be hired Likewise as to those who should be fired But there is another place where I do stay That it never seems to work quite that way And it is when I am in my very own house There, whatever , I’ll be quiet as a mouse When my wife and daughter begin to revile I’ve learned it’s best to say nothing and smile It very plainly doesn’t matter what I may say Those two are going to have things their way When a hailstorm the jackass has caught To protect himself, the jack can do naught He can only bray, as control he tries to fake But he is better off, silently the hits to take
