Punishment Inc
Punishment Inc.
We are called by your elders,
To take care of you,
When you are extra jumpy,
And solve a problem or two
We wait for you round the corner,
At any time of the day,
We jump at you anytime,
You have nothing to say.
We lock you in a room,
We have a stout stick on you to lay,
You may kick and you may shout,
But that’s where you will stay.
We’ll tell you that you have,
Every fault on earth,
From shouting and yelling,
To hanging from the upper berth,
We break you down,
And miserable you feel,
The naughtiness and stupidity,
All begin to heal.
The next morning is a surprise,
Your hair is no more like hay,
Your parents are amazed,
At what we managed to do in a day.
Your room is clean,
Your clothes are neat,
You behave really well,
And people’s heart misses a beat.
(Cos they can’t believe you are neat)
This wonderful behavior,
Goes on for a week,
And our help,
No longer your parents seek.
But after a week,
We are back to the first square,
For your habits are back,
And are efforts have gone where?
