Daddy's Anger
A fist fight here
A battered woman there
He never meant it, he swears
He always promised he cares
Then why is it that I have blood on my face
And the next minute he wants an embrace
Then I got tired of all the abuse
So then I decided to become loose
Fury inside me came a callin'
Then momma and dad went a brawlin'
First the screams and then the shouts
Two little children left to pout
While the little girl sang, "Short and stout."
Then as she was thrown no more did she pout
Her little blue eyes opened wide with fear
As daddy drew very near
His breath smellin' like the morning's first beer
He screamed for them to get over here
The boy and the mother quickly did obey
Before he started screaming something else to say
He held the girl by her neck
While the mother attempted to deck
She tried to protect her child
Now daddy's fury became more wild
As the girl began to gasp and choke
Suddenly a china clatter and then something broke
Stunned as he was that day
He released the child and she went on her way
The mother looked at them with nothing to say
As she made the foolish decision to stay
