Prom comes to the Og Household
The meeting- replete with one parent per student
(They won’t tolerate ANYONE being truant)
was the definite thing if you said you were coming
without the permission the kids would be bumming
A Catholic school don’t tolerate much
the boys can all look at the girls but not touch
anywhere not invited (or chaperon’s glare
will cause a disruption with embarrasment to spare)
“There won’t be any substances here that are illicit
Unless you want a well dressed unscheduled visit
to the local police where you might be defended
by mom, dad, or lawyer, but remain suspended
Zero tolerance as always the plan of the day
Each kid to be breathalyzed before they can play”
the warnings were many, but none of them bad
Each student recalled the great time they had
At the last Promenade, full of tuxes and dresses
and the boys fresh haircuts and girls carefull tresses
the excitement it grows as the evening draws near
but the parents still have the occasional fear
So the head Nun stood up and instructed the crowed
“We will make all the parents this pledge” then she vowed
“There will be no cleavage, no underwear showing
There will be no hormonal activity growing”
She then said “The dinner is tasty, delightful!
With naught that a gourmet would consider frightful
Without Alcohol the food will not cause sickness or puking”
and finally she mentioned “There will be no Juking!”
Satisfied that the party would be well attended
and the innocence of students would be well defended
We went home as parents secure in our choices
happy that in this world that there are some sane voices.
“. . . happy that in this world there are some sane voices.”
Peace of mind… That’s always nice to have.
(Sorry to be a bummer, but) I’m a little curious today Og: Do you think it’s okay to pray that a certain wimpy (likely also bastard and son-of-a-bitch) someone might die a slow, PAINFUL, miserable death early next week?

If not okay to pray, then how ’bout HOPE?
That all sounds fine to me, Fred. if there’s something I can do to help that along, I will certainly do it.
it IS OK to pray. The Creator expects us to pray for deliverance from our enemies:
Psalm 144:
1:Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
3 Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
5 Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
And the people said, Amen.
Amen…..An a pretty good party by the sound of it as well.
Better than the bash my eldest went to when she was a senior. She is OK now, but then we had concerns.
And as to the yip doing the threat….may he be damned to eternal torment, if that be thy will Lord.
