Where Are the Ladies and Gentlemen

5:15 PM  14 Aug 2018

Where have all the ladies gone
That inspired beautiful song

Style and grace 
Humble and chased 

Strong and willing 
Proper not chilling

Well spoken and sweet as a dove
Well mannered and well spoken of

Where have the gentlemen gone
Regaled and praised in song

Strong and brave 
Worked hard everyday

Humble and caring
Always sharing

They have all been replaced 
By demons who curse you to your face

By liars and thieves
Filled with contempt and greed

It is so hard to find in this day and time
Real people for real reasons who are honest and kind

G'day Bobb … nice set of lyrics Bobb. Brings home the lack of respect that has infected society. History is about to repeat itself - thanks Bobb - Lindsay

Thank you and you are absolutly right. People get strong but do not pass it on to the next generation and then what was learned is forgotten and the mistakes of the past become the present once more.
