Old School

When I was a kid wearing a lid Was something that most people did And everyone knew There were things you do or not do When wearing that hat on your head If you wished to be seen as well bred Never, never would you leave it on your dome When you were in somebody's home You'd be considered crass and crude The epitome of rude If you left it on your head When in someone's homestead And to wear it while you ate Is something one can't even contemplate But today it seems there are no rules No no's, no don'ts no ridicules And the thing that worries me is that It applies to more than just the hat.
