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

Sparing


Spare the rod, spoil the  child
Sayings are short-hand stories 
Sensible people support and encourage sensitivity
Selflessly give seconds, minutes, hours, days
Sow the seeds of empathy
Save their souls because it's not worth,  
spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar.

Premium Member Spare the Rod

Spare the rod; spoil the child
So the old proverb read --
and into children, injected dread
but kept them from going hog-wild

Yet many adults just will not hit
until they're really mad --
which always turns out very bad
leaving them emotionally unfit

They lose their cool; they spank too hard
The child begins to cry --
He can't figure out, for the life of it, Why
~ Spanking wasn't long ago banned

Spare the rod, spoil the child; We should take care of our children now; Just as God does for us... The Lord is... The Lord is like a father; A father to His children; We are His children; Father tender and compassionate you those who fear Him; God, I'm your child an adult now, share not your rod, like a father Reprimand me Father I'm your child
