Momma Said
Momma said always do what is right,
Treat others as you would like to be treated
And never start, but always end, the fight.
Wait until everyone else at the table is seated
Don’t be the first to snatch a serving dish
Respond appropriately when you’re greeted,
And remember you don’t always get your wish.
Please always send your hostess a thank you note
And stay in the game until it is finished.
Momma said it is important to register your vote,
Be sure you get your say in how things are done
For part of the burden is yours to tote,
And stay the course until the victory is won!
