Settle Down

Oh my darling you've had your fun,

I've kept the leash quite loose.

You've been out from moon to sun,

And reek of gin and juice.

Tousled hair and pearly teeth,

You always get your way.

But now i'll take sword out of sheath,

Wood sticks are child's play.

It's time to bring you down,

Perhaps not all the way.

On just one knee for now,

But not to kneel and pray.
