I wrote this after seeing a Public Service Announcement on TV. The title is one of the captions that was used in the PSA.

Get them in the schoolyard kick'em in the pants force them to listen to your insufferable rants Make them sit in silence loudly make it clear any one who TALKS to them will soon be sittin' there. Tell them they'll be punished until THEY act as WE constantly remind them that KINDNESS IS THE KEY. John G. Lawless 10/16/2020

I remember the headmaster's cane...and all the types of inventive punishments they used... such imagination when it came to forms of torture! :)
