A different time.
Are manners or morals not taught anymore?
Does anyone ever hold open a door or give up a seat for the weak or the old and why can't you now tell a child that they're bold?...
Whatever happened to getting a good clip round the ear?..
And if you ever did wrong you Surely lived in fear..
Of your parents finding out, and what the outcome would be, but now everything has to be so "PC"...
Kids now a days think they're so entitled and everything's served on a plate..
And it's very sad that on their phones is how they communicate!
I think Good manners should be compulsory to learn. .
Oh back to the good old days do I yearn..
When respect and manners was instilled in me.. Just the way It still should be..

My thoughts exactly Pauline.....
Today's youth are a different breed.....Nicely written ! If you get a chance read one of my poems called Gone are the Days......it's on the same topic.
Regards Mick.
Thanks Mick,I sure will have a look at your work..
amen! Pauline that is well said, I love mannerly people generally, and I have been known to confront some folks when I don't see proper manners, it is irritating, to be honest....generally I'm mild mannered but my kryptonite is manners, rude people I have little respect for....wow, I've not read a poem about 'manners' on here before and a good one as well, good for you....I like this, terrific subject
Really big bug bear of mine Christopher, I can't abide rudeness or bad manners...thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
Hey Pauline... Who wouldn't wish for the good old days where manners and courtesies were the other of the day.. I think they've been long forgotten....God help us.. Nicely written
Alas I think you're right Rose,thank you.
