The Vicious Cycle of Rudeness

Rudeness at places of work is a terminal cancer That reduces and kills productivity Promoting the dancer Who feels her rudeness proclivity Resembles a godsend in her way of thinking Equating its futility to putting in a full day’s shift without any proof That rudeness despite its inkling and tinkering Adds to long faces among colleagues whose home roof Undergoes strain victims of rudeness export home where their rudeness Hurts family members who in turn unleash Their reverse rudeness to kill at home happiness Inspiring butts of rudeness to dish Out the taste of the rude message To new victims enlarging the cycle by tit for tat Until time passage Widens the rudeness culture making it so fat It recruits new rude members Consolidating and spreading the rudeness epidemic Insulating no one, hurting everyone to fan embers That burn, burn, burn and burn so that rudeness no comic Spares. Then, people wonder why so much rudeness flies about Crashing good manners, killing decorum Until a wisecracker reminds the person who in the first instance thought her rudeness clout Despite a dose of rum Contaminates and hurts more and more Unless everybody makes it their business To observe good manners and tenets of politeness in folklore Then and only then can a rude-free society exist, pouring boundless happiness bereft of rudeness.
