Rules At the Table

Napkin on lap Sit up straight Finish everything On your plate Quietly chew Do not burp Sip the soup Never slurp Do not talk While you eat Little bites Cut your meat Never ever Play with food Elbows down Don’t be rude I try to remember The rules I’ve been told By the time I do My food is cold.

I had to check out another. Now, to me, it's official - you need/deserve many more comments than you are getting. Your talent is obvious so please don't be discouraged (believe me, I have been up and down with discouragement since I started. there is no sense to what does and doesn't get "comment attention." Just as the 1st I read, your wit and delivery are strong, warm and endearing. This is a grinner and a well written one. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
