The Tongue of a Child Out of Control

Shittily did he speak to the lady
And did deserve a rebuke at the least.
Perhaps a slap on the chop
Would have served better
To curb such base indiscipline.
Most high among the priorities
Of civil human socialization
Is the control of the bastard tongue
When it goes out from under the rule
Of a parental spirit of decency.
Let children bow to the rule of parents,
And let parents buck up and take control.
It is a duty which must not be shed
Lest one rears up a child for the dread.
