Proper
Manners
Days long
since passed,
Had known the
art of manners.
Courtesy
adhered to,
Polite,
Genteel, and cordial charm.
Honour high
above the call,
Was so
pleasant to one and all.
A door held
ajar,
A gossiping
tongue held back.
Coats thrown
over puddles,
A lady loved
in regal ways.
Ladies before
gentlemen,
And all good
manners praised.
Times have
changed it's true,
Decades
coming, eras passing by.
No true
gentlemen do I spy,
From the
remotest corner of my eye.
Ladies without
partners at the dance,
What the
blazes happened to romance?
