Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 28, 2025

I think his right side advanced in life but his left side still stuck in a past life as a kid

He only does that because he can’t talk Bea into using whips and chains in the bedroom.

That’s not what they called it in my Psychology class.

If he misbehave again, he’ll use a rubber band on his wrist.

/// Other forms of reproof, Gordon shuns.

Never had a “time-out” or spanked buns.

Discipline, he’ll insist,

comes when ruler hits wrist.

(He was taught very well by the nuns.)

And apparently, a closet Nun. Such a bad habit.

Gordon worries me a little.

The dictionary’s an excellent tool,

It contains lots of big words and small.

Some of them’s rude,

And Gordon’s a prude,

Self discipline’s taught with a rule!

Sister Mary Thyresia would be impressed. But she’s gone on to her reward.

Dermatologist playing ‘whack a mole’

It’s called masochism where I come from, Gordon!

If you really want to punish yourself, watch the news!

“Oh, you think you can get away with that, do you? Well, I’ll have Nun of it!”

[WHAP!]

Gordon has yet to measure up to his expectations.

A mere slap on the wrist. Go, Gordon, and sin some more.

Nun better.

I’m one of the lucky ones:/

I was never subjected to nuns../

But the masters were cruel/

In my private boys school/

And my headmasters channeled the Huns !

Gordon’s addicted to smack.

He’s the ruler of his own self-flagellation.

Gordo must have gone to Catholic schools

That’s going to leave a bruise. Hope no one decides to accuse him of elder abuse.

I went to public school in Maryland, and my 1st grade teacher, not only hit kids on the back of the hand with a ruler, she also humiliated them in other ways.

Gordon is the town masochist, who enjoys Catholic School Teacher/Student Fantasies

Gordon is a bit whacky.

let’s hope that gordon’s self-discipline doesn’t slide into self-abuse…

☺
