What having manners mean?
Pompously speaking same tongue as Queen?
Knowing how fancy table perfectly is set
Or how to eat proper with not a stain or fingers wet?
Whole complicated code of how to dress
Or to salute with gracious reverence?
Nooo, not really, isn't it more than that! ?
The Respect we've got to have
From deep inside
Not only shown, but really felt? !
For anyone or anything...
Is watching self, be fair, good, keeping clean
Not stink, nor sting, never be mean
always be careful not to say or do
to others, any unpleasant thing!
Those are good manners, don't you think?
For any human kind to keep at heart
No matter if they're living
In a Palace or in a simple tiny Hut
If they know not to read or write
or if they have an MBA at Oxford, or Harvard.
Most Simple Old Good Manners:
'Let all of aware to be of Others'
Then harmony, hopefully, we 'll find
For all us, the human kind...
Quite right too. Manners maketh the man, so they say, and you say it perfectly.
