Our ship’s sinking and circled by shark
So a lawyer jumped off of our ark
The sharks swam away 
And observers will say
Professional courtesy is their trademark

They can shoot on their way to school
The Yanks do not care
As they shoot their share
Ensuring the NRA rule

Premium Member One Offers a Jabberwock a Seat

No course in courtesy is complete,
unless it has a proper syllabus
replete
with correct conduct on a bus:

Though that slob's not one of us,
just a bumbling laughingstock,
and a burbling  jabberwock,
one must offer him a seat.

Chivalry

Chivalry is undisputed courtesy and it must not die,
each generation have honored it as those noble knights did....

Premium Member Spring

Months
Warmer
Longer days'
Limb's glimmer lush
Courtesy appease
Proudly budding spectrum
Of flowers spellbinding bees,
Butterflies, and hummingbirds' flit
Near, far as season inspires in an
Open chattering immense field in spring.

These Quiets

Priestly, abide in stillness.
Cloistered in dim hid
Woods, walled up gardens.
A reverence breathed! Of mind
Where the best ripens.

From their chastening effect
Who, for to think deep
Has kept far away
An appealing courtesy
Not so deemed this day!

Premium Member The Telemarketers

You’re loathsome in your pertinacious ways.
Your courtesy goes and your rudeness stays.
Can’t you find other means to make money?
You’re a big nuisance, and it’s not funny!
I don’t want to buy what you have for sale.
If you call back again, I’ll kick your tail!

Premium Member Looming Death

Death knocks on our door
A mere courtesy
Needs no permission
Offers no reprieve
Nor grants extension

Quaking in fear
Feeling helpless
We pause the cause
Of contraction

No regrets
No goodbyes
We move on

Light smile
Detached

A BUDDHIST CHRISTMAS

A BUDDHIST CHRISTMAS

December date as now revised
There are lights hung on trees
Bodhi and Christmas Dharma
Jesus’ teachings are respected
Only messiah status is rejected
With a clear goodwill Karma
A difference only by degrees
Yet mutual courtesy is advised

Premium Member Return of Grace and Elegance

year after year
of stress
of violence
  what a mess

folks yearn for a time gone by
of elegance and grace
of courtesy and gallantry
when manners had their place

it may be hard to tell
just what is going on
but things do seem the darkest
  before the rosy dawn
