Caned - Richard Hawley

To set the stage

To coin a phrase

You really are quite dumb

And so in brief

With great relief

I have to say I’m going

But I’m not paid enough

To be the one you want

And I’m not caned enough

To be the one you love

So don’t pretend

To comprehend

In your drunken haze

With that in mind

I think you’ll find

You’re just a little vague

But I’m not paid enough

To be the one you want

And I’m not caned enough

To be the one you love
