Rules At the Table

Napkin on lap
Sit up straight
Finish everything 
On your plate
Quietly chew
Do not burp
Sip the soup
Never slurp
Do not talk
While you eat
Little bites
Cut your meat
Never ever 
Play with food
Elbows down
Don’t be rude
I try to remember
The rules I’ve been told
By the time I do
My food is cold.

I had to check out another. Now, to me, it's official - you need/deserve many more comments than you are getting. Your talent is obvious so please don't be discouraged (believe me, I have been up and down with discouragement since I started. there is no sense to what does and doesn't get "comment attention." Just as the 1st I read, your wit and delivery are strong, warm and endearing. This is a grinner and a well written one. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
