Silly Society

Separating forks, knives and spoons
Mine are all mixed together
I can find the right one to use
Are people not to clever ?

I have a son, seven years old
Won't wear his coat, don't sweat it
You don't get sick from being cold
If he's cold he'll go get it

What so special about the queen
Royal blood the highest class
The only thing that I have seen
Is her face is on our cash

Why no elbows on the table
Because they are so unclean
What a ridiculous fable
If I'm tired I like to lean

Don't leave your house in a nightgown
It is very unseemly
If it is the beach your around
Your fine in a bikini

You must stand when the judge comes in
In case he doesn't find a seat
Let's talk about condensing
The king will now judge the weak

Distracted driving, see the cops
With their laptops on the dash
Looking for others to stop
Their the ones most likely to crash
