A Gentleman's Airs

To qualify as an educated gent to certain boarding-schools one must be sent To learn how to position one's fork and knife and raise one's pinkie, unlike lowlifes A gent speaks with an air of charm and grace his nose gradually rising on his face Savaging the ways of 'today's barbaric youth' while knocking down shots of gin and vermouth Such gents betimes depart fine society exposing themselves ~ targets of impropriety

'Hooray Henrys,' eh?! That's pretty funny! We call them 'Preppies.' (They go to expensive, private 'Preparatory High Schools' for colleges such as Harvard and Princeton).

A fine satire. Enjoyed the hidden punch.
