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
