The Belt

It seems like only yesterday  the
                  fanny belting my daddy gave.
                  I remember all to well how those
                  Belt hurt like hell!

                  It got your attention made you
                  think twice do the right thing you'll
                  save your hide.
 
                  Now, fanny belting a kid today
                  could land you in jail, where you'll
                  stay awhile. 

                  So spare the rod spoil, the child and,
                  this is what you'll get a lot of kids
                  running amuck ungrateful, lacking
                  respect.
