Don'T Spare the Rod

Don’t spare the rod Without remorse Strike hard For every child good there’s one bad Take no chances Strike hard Education must come from above A swinging stroke Strike hard Old decorum a twilight Duty fading Strike hard World now bemused by little Jimmy Take pleasure Strike hard
