I have a saying ill manners come cheap That's why so many give them out; I hope for a change.. Is that a worthy shout? Or will I just notice; more dung on the heap.'

Abrading action Dystopian scorn pours Cheap chips liberally

Well, I think ill-manners are learned but also, they come naturally to the natural man. Once at home and in school we were taught about good morals and good manners but today I don't think it is being taught or can't be taught and probably the students would laugh the teacher to scorn. I enjoyed reading your work. Your visits to my page are inspiring. Sara

Loved this Joe no matter what name you give it. A rose by any other name smells as sweet. And you are so right rudeness is cheap and comes out of the mouths of immature people who don't know any better. Well Done. God Bless, JB

Hey Judy good to see your Comment..' Going further I suppose if Satan's People speak lies as their born Tounge, then it follows God's Children will speak in love.. I'd never thought of that till this Very moment.'

OK thanks Andrea, I placed it Under 'tanka form' as its regarding human, I know you are more practiced in the oriental Poems 'I'm sure Haiku is supposed to be based on flora and fauna and the elements so Maybe a senryu.? Do get back to me after a double check and I'll Alter it to the more suitable ,'

Dear Joe, civility & culture makes lives easier, especially for those deemed "little people." A.erica can do more ... But has done the most with laws to protect John & Mary Doe. If u lived in a township in South Africa as I do ... No hint of Mandela magic or Archbishop Desmond Tutu! "Excuse me" is almost never heard outside "big malls," but shoving & cars splashing or buzzing oedezteians common. Rare to see coos patrol any place except banks & malls. Shalom shalom. I do thank u

It's a rather sad fact though Jan, I'll think to myself some Would not be so short with Others or rude if there was a Cost involved..' cheapskates But there are costs involved They just don't think ahead..' Maybe their headless in a way.?

Hello Becca..' I thought I'd Dropped of the edge of the flat Earth.. No I don't believe its Flat my God said otherwise.' And I see He's been vindicated So another victory in His-story I'm told that's where the Word Comes from Gods-story life Unrolling.'
