"I Command; You Obey"
I command; you obey.
You decline; I'm dismayed.
I command; you obey.
No work then nothing gained.
A simple word of rules.
Better not be confused.
Follow them correctly.
Do it all properly.
Remember what goes there.
Do not ever ask where.
Do not dare to fumble,
Or else I'll give trouble.
I command; you obey.
You decline; I'm dismayed.
I command; you obey.
Hear what I've got to say.
No labor, no favor.
Give my food some flavor.
I hate what you have cooked.
Not worth the time it took.
All must be well prepared,
So I need not compare
Which person's work is best.
Gives me time for good rest.
I command; you obey.
You decline; I'm dismayed.
I command; you obey.
No pleas can you convey.
I don't care what you say.
Keep in mind, "Come what may."
I'll still give bonuses--
It isn't humongous.
Do not dare give complaints.
To you, I won't explain.
I still give leftovers,
So please, don't be sober.
I command; you obey.
You decline; I'm dismayed.
I command; you obey,
For there's no other way.
