Respect
Thank yous or pleases, will not spread diseases
They can be put to use as you will
It’s a guaranteed fact that politeness and tact
Have never made anyone ill
Civility’s free you can take it from me
That it won’t cost a penny old chum
Practice a while with your Sunday best smile
Impoliteness makes everyone glum
Good manners are things that shouldn’t have strings
Every day they must be put to use
Exploit etiquette you will garner respect
‘cause for rudeness there is no excuse
