Navigating Social Rules Is Etiquette Sailing Poem by Terence George Craddock

etiquette a society
social safety valve
prevents disasters;

in many societies
there are formulated
codes a system of rules
that explain the desired
correct conduct procedures;

to be followed in formal situations
to be followed in informal social gatherings;
from greeting eating dancing to departing
from birth childhood adulthood to vulnerable aging
from weddings to death social etiquette is important;

reasons for social etiquette are diverse
excellent time management is a skill polite;
consideration is good manners avoids strife
anger violence results from behaviour not nice;
etiquette a society safety valve saves face...
