Hallo, 'Ello Mate, Hi and Howzit

GREETINGS ALL!
Greeting people on the street
Reason cannot assess how
Even a quick American "hi" in retreat
Elevates someone's mood, and the State's
Truth be told, can't say how Americans started
Ice-breaking among strangers on the street
Now, in England, silence (on tubes) is not rude
Given past racism in South Africa, we ought to use HOWZIT
Short for "How is It?" but silence is too much like our Past

All South Africans need to learn other things from USA than food
Last time I worked at Union Buildings & Oval College, I did this
Last but not least, it is Christian to give a smiling 'ello to all
