A Step Too Far
A step too far.
I wonder if a step too far is when
His look is so stern I will feel a twinge,
Although I'm seated, I can sense I'll bend
Without a murmur, for I know to whinge
Will only bring about catastrophe.
I wonder if the cane will really hurt?
It looks quite whippy and, I know, he'll mark
Me with his instrument and will be curt
Because I disobeyed and would not start
To find my naughty place across his knee
But that was then and this is now. I find
I do enjoy his discipline and star
In all his punishments. I will not mind
Whether or not he takes a step too far.

Author's Note
A passing thought that led to a twinge or two - my thought though - do enjoy your own.

Your session makes for heady and hearty reading. You elicit the magic of such a scene that takes me into your signature world that only you can bring into literary life.

You do me much honour so thank you - I like to think I bring a different point of view to the matter in hand
