SLAM!

A Paradisical Punishment

Much to my parent's dismay
I often tried to bend the rules
Many times I got away
With making them both look like fools
But, eventually, I got caught
I ran off at night without permission
They shouldn't have been so fraught
After all, I only lied by omission

My punishment was to stay in my room
Fortunately, all my books were there
I didn't complain, just picked up a tome
And for hours I'd be out of their hair
The silence oftened puzzled the two
They'd ask me about it at dinner
I laughed because they never knew
I was rewarded for being a sinner

I'd fly on the back of a dragon king
With the world laid out before me
Or listen to a princess sing
And fall in love quite shortly
Sometimes I'd go to outer space
Ray Bradbury showed me the way
Ganymede was my favorite place
And there I would save the day

I loved to go explore the deep
With Captain Nemo and his friends
But finally I'd fall asleep
My adventures coming to an end
On the next morning I told my dad
That wroning him, I felt much shame
But although I acted sad
I couldn't wait to get grounded again
