Do you know the story
Of the boy who cried wolf?
A story with a lesson to tell
Including a moral as well -
One that you should heed.
To bluff and threaten and not carry through,
To not do the thing you said you'd do;
Time and time over, again and again,
Leads me to deliberate
That when you whinge and complain
I can just ignore you; the problem melts away.
You've cried wolf too often now;
That if the wolf came to be
And your threat eventuated -
I would surely be, definitely,
Completely, discombobulated.
