When I return home from school
I see Mom and Dad fight a lot
And I am the only audience
To a wrestling match that’s fought
…
Daddy punches her in the gut
Poor Mommy shouts, “It’s a crime.”
But Daddy pays no heed to her
Because Daddy wins all the time
…
They come to blows so easily
I think they simply must love to fight
They always fight during the day
Sometimes they even fight at night
…
Daddy has no bruise to name
While Mom’s got scars on her face
Dad always takes the winning prize
While Mommy keeps second place
…
Sometimes I really wonder if
They would for once just cease to fight
It’s hard to get my homework done
Without any sort of calm or quiet
…
Today on returning home from school
I was greeted by an unusual sight
There was no sound of violence
There was no sound of a fight
…
Mom stood smiling in the kitchen
Dad lay bloodied on the floor
No more fights there’ll be in this house
Mommy has now settled the score

Horrifying… & then satisfying!
