A Jackass Caught in a Hailstorm

All he can do is stand and take it.

A Jackass Caught in a Hailstorm

 

By Elton Camp

 

Most who offend me, I can hold back

So, from them I don’t take much slack

It’s usually enough if I just coldly say,

“How do you dare talk to me this way.”

 

My position often carried some power

So that those around me in fear cower

I had influence on who was to be hired

Likewise as to those who should be fired

 

But there is another place where I do stay

That it never seems to work quite that way

And it is when I am in my very own house

There, whatever , I’ll be quiet as a mouse

 

When my wife and daughter begin to revile

I’ve learned it’s best to say nothing and smile

It very plainly doesn’t matter what I may say

Those two are going to have things their way

 

When a hailstorm the jackass has caught

To protect himself, the jack can do naught

He can only bray, as control he tries to fake

But he is better off silently the hits to take
