Manners © Tony Fallon080218
I’ve just heard you mention
About the greeting exchangers
And the use of worthless pretension
By teenagers who are strangers
With you I heartily agree
I’ve just bought two bags of food
From a girl named Rosemarie
And she certainly wasn’t rude
Yet of etiquette she was devoid
She was acting sunny
I was not overjoyed
She had just called me “Honey”
I told her Honey was
a wee bit out of line
Since we’d never met before
If she called me Mrs. Murphy that was fine
The next time I came
in the door
I could see I’d drawn blanks
Our encounter over I was on my way
She did no say “Mrs. Murphy Thanks”
Just said half hearted “ Have a nice day”
