Standing

Just having to be erect Supported by your two feet: The posture that is correct Before one whom others greet: Bosses who would things direct While ours are to matters treat… Punishment for a sitter, Sitters made to stand ‘bitter.’ You’re a brute - a hitter, Attention lost some could dither; They won’t talk nor smile either; Now, gaps between you wider! Elsewhere, it’s test of courage, Long hours of it long carriage; The flat-footed can’t it brave: You’d be making one a slave… For babies a crucial test, Crawls dragged too long not the best; A gift for mums East and West, Babies reward milk from breast.
