DAD
was my
guiding light
he taught me manners
how to respect women
and all that was important
always there when I needed him
crisp shirt and silk tie
freshly polished black wingtips
dapper gentleman
he fools the naïve
manners are impeccable
hiding his evil

To dine at the Officers Mess
Where officers go
One must curtsey low

served with honourable manners

about the time
i had some wine.
you had some gin.

and we toasted metered

by intrusive manners.

by instalments he had his say
He satorised manners of his time
helping poets(like me) to poesy rimes

Manners are the vehicle by which we
gift one another that respect.
Be Generous.
Autumn has arrived
Blowing in as summer left
Coming with her best manners.
Autumn can be mild
Or can change in a moment
From happiness to anger.
Oops... do excuse my manners.
I didn't mean it, just came out.
Excuse me please... so sorry.

there once was a sly swimmer bloke
whose manners were sure to provoke
his form was unique
a brand new technique
he mastered the women’s breaststroke

Healer of knees
Catcher of broken hearts

Their lunch was disturbed by a fork
Left hand or right?
Wait! What a fright!

Real soon you'll look like calamari

cried hard and rasped with loud coughs.
Cold cops raced to swoop
The girls took a poop
On top of their heads with scoffs.

the wealthy man kills them nightly in his dreams

Outstanding manners we will not let slip
We like afternoon tea
From a cup - hear our plea
Give us a trough if you want a good tip
