Poem.
Mame don’t pop that gum like that
It tickles ears and makes irritated men fume beneath their hats
Man please don’t ask people a question like that
Respectfulness of privacy’s a priority for intelligent men-not the curiosity of pack rats
Please talk to him about everything in the world, except him
If you think people like private things to be questioned, your chances are slim
Just leave them the room to make up their minds
To tell you what they want to share each time
Sir, have you ever let someone else be the one to be smart, efficient, and strong
Or do you always have to be the one when circumstances happen along
Girl, you don’t ever have to curse, holler, or scream
Its really unbecoming and self defeating when arrogance is fat and courtesy lean
Sir, please don’t use curse words like that
It burns the ears of our cat and he won’t meow for you after that
Girls don’t just say any ole thing you want to say
It only aids your goals to speak the courteous way
Child don’t scream, holler, chatter, and chat
A child should be seen and not heard, on his head a pat
Spoken when spoken to-polite like that
Sir don’t create for him another name
It won’t sit right with him, and for shame, don’t you know people’s names are not for games
Man don’t smack your lips as you eat nor crunch too loud
If you have manners, not much of an eating sound is allowed
Sir, don’t touch, pat, rub, push, bump, or give a friendly shove
Keep hands strictly to yourself unless patting the cat on its back
Respecting the distance shows that you have tact
Young man don’t speak with that new hip talk like that
Its exactly that which holds politeness back
And they’ll only look at you with a suspicious eye
Cause that’s the only thing slang talk can buy
If you’ve never learned to put in practice these things
Sooner or later it may more than just seem
That the people around you make secret reservations
And accept you with only regret and great hesitations
And nearly every season it will also be
The reason why they choose me first and you last
Are polite to me fast but stuck up with those who show no class
And these are some of the reasons you receive only Sass
