Well-Mannered Curmudgeon

Our attempts not to bother.
To keep a low profile. Turned
many into not even a blip on
the radar.  Now it’s INCOMING!!

Well.  Going on as we do about
books of etiquette.  Offering our
seats to boarding elders. Perhaps
having forgotten our own age. Now

were told that opening a door to 
a stranger might at times be sexist
or scolded for calling a person Ma’am
or Sir.  People, having thrown all

of their good intentions into the
burning heap, still clinging to the
notion of that blip, leaving well
enough alone.  If morality is so

tenuous let’s all be obnoxious.
Curmudgeon forth on discerning
the value of values and the
difference between true and

any outstandingly ill-mannered
danger to humanity.  Our kind
will be erased by silence.  If you’ve 
a voice, it’s time to make some noise.
