Spanking is definitely the most humiliating form of punishment.

It was used in homes daily as a deterrent against misbehaving.

Good old auntie would draw you across her knees,

pounding her flat palm against your cheeks. 

no matter how much you wriggled or howled she did not give in, 

Whatever punishment she had in mind was completed

 regardless of how sorry you claimed to be. 

The sting of the palm would leave a bright red hand print, each

finger leaving its own individual impression. 

If her hand grew sore and tired before she felt that you had

taken your fair share for your errors.

Without thought more like the act of a robot, she would simply

reach down and remove the soft rubber soled slipper she would

be wearing at the time.  The acoustics would resonate around

the room bouncing from each wall, slowly fading, perfectly timed

for the next crack to show no mercy.
