You could have scolded me
left, right and center
you could have grounded me
or not given a bother
you could have told me
to scuttle off
you could have easily made
fun of me with a scoff
but you did none of this
and loved me instead
after giving me some advice
tucked me into bed
i am sorry, dear dad
for giving you trouble
i promise never to do
things that are unacceptable
