How many lessons can I teach?
I thought as I picked up my pen
All of my liberal friends ignore me
When I point out their basic sin
Leaving that area to rest for a while
I focus for a moment on disrespect
Highly paid athletes failure to salute our flag
Forgetting their freedom was provided by deaths
I like heroes in every possible area
Many sports people set examples that are good
They are leaders; uninhibited in their communities
Behaving with gratitude and humility as they should
This is respect we can all admire
It exists positively in midst of degradation
Some instinctively insist on truth
Sometimes creating quite a sensation
Men, remove you hats when you enter a building
Good manners are not a thing of the past
Opening the door and standing up for a lady
Just a good thing to do; can we make a pact
Paying attention is another thing
Many seen to not be aware
Evil lingering right in their midst
Head in the sand, I swear
There are so many things to do
Get involved in your community
So many organizations could use your help
Don’t miss out on an opportunity
When you are at a table, eating out
And sit there for over an hour
Don’t act like it is okay
To leave only a dollar
My pen is tired and so am I
