Keep Your Elbows Off the Table

Keep Your Elbows Off the Table

By Elton Camp

It has always been the rule
Both at home and in school
Elbows on table were a crime
And not permitted at any time

There’s no reason it should stop
Elbows are a really handy prop
If elbows, man and God offend,
Why are our arms made to bend?
