Lesson Learned

She cannot seem to comprehend
That I am strong, and on the mend
She now sees me as frail and weak
No more than a circus freak

But I bind her in leather straps
Disregard her constant yaps
She has all too much to learn
Fearing that she is bound to burn

I am loath to bring on too much pain
It is my desire to see her strain
A lesson learned, leather tight
My sweet "babe" now seems contrite.
