Raising Cane
A 50-word exercise
“I will not tolerate violence” our headmaster roared, thumping his desk. He gave Billy and me six strokes of the cane.
“So much for non-violence” I muttered. I got two more strokes.
Billy and I had fought over Molly Molloy; she promptly rejected us both.
Ah, well, another lesson learned.

They raised the cane because they were able, Tony.
Excuse the pun.
Cheers, Luigi

Loved the pun by the way!
