Mind your manors!

In the manor of speaking

one found one's manners

impeccably dressed

and totally confused.

Such manor-isms were of course

not acceptable, and all manners

were withdrawn from sale

in the manor of Speak-a-my language!

Don't speak to me in that tone of manors!

said the Lady of the Manners.

What the dickens is that?

It's definitely not Keats!

Terrible manors!

Where did you say you lived?

Down the road at the Manner's court.

Why do you ask?

Have you lost your manors!

The moral in this tale of manors.

Remember he or she

who speaks in broken English

must know a second language.

in a manor of speaking...i think you forgot about those who live in manners...but don't have any.
oh shoot the poor...they are tragically uncouth....
well according to the elite, they are.
according to most of us, they are comrades.

Yes its a Topsy turfy world we live in J. Yes manners is on the decline now that equality is getting closer. Today's world doesn't need manners anymore sadly now that we are all politically correct in speaking lol Thanks J for your words.
