An Amber Alert For These Guys

They found an old friend of mine dead today, They said he just completely withered away. He was said to have been a knight in shiny armor and rode a mighty steed, An was always coming to damsels in distress a champion for their need. His name was Chivalry and he stood so proud, He stood out no matter where or the size of the crowd. All the good ones are leaving one by one, Seems these things aren’t worth passing down to our daughters and sons. Mr. Scruples and Mrs. Gumption they had to leave, No one even missed them there was no one to grieve. I lived next door to a family called Morals many children they had. Some were really nice and good while the others were plain bad. There’s old Mr. Love and his sweetheart missy Kindness they’re down on their luck. Seems like those old bullies Hatred and Greed have caused so much trouble aided by their cousin the infamous Mr. Schmuck. All the goods ones are either leaving or gone, There’s no more Mr. Respect he’s not answering his phone. There is only two left and they’re hanging by a thread, Their names are Praise and Worship and there are many who would like to see them dead.
