My Mother Taught Me To Be Polite

That's good water young man he said!

My Mother taught me to be polite,

when I was just a little guy!

I can remember a day long ago,

I think I was five years old!

My Mother had several guest’ over,

and somebody requested a glass of water!

Being the polite young lad I was,

I thought I would serve them all water!

I was small and couldn’t reach the faucet,

so I retrieved the water from the toilet!

They all drank the water and asked for more;

and my Mother quietly reacted in horror,

when I was caught coming out the Bathroom door!

I was to young to know any better,

and today the story is met with great laughter!

So if visiting a friend and a child brings you a drink,

remember my story and take time to think!
