to be or not to be polite

To be or not to be polite. I sit on the terrace  enjoying the spring sun the sea is calm I see in my binoculars the president  of Portugal taking  his daily swim Later in the day  he will fly  to Alentejo to  judge in a dog show My wife to read  the Facebook takes a dislike to  a red-haired woman says she is vulgar tells me to be polite She has a decorated walking cane wears green fingernails changes the color of her nails to match her dress of the day
