The rest ignore each other
Trying to not let our hips touch
Bus stop etiquette...

Then what in the salava to do with it
Just hold it in 
With a grin
Or learn to swallow another trick...

dressed to seduce
taught the best etiquette
polished painted face hides her feelings
cannot share them
she is a doll...

Ballroom dancing
Big bands, Hollywood glam
Chiffon decorated dance floor
Men were gentlemen, women were ladies
Decent formality
And etiquette
Stardust...

And all the breeds wait patiently
But not one stoops
To leaving poops
That’s doggie etiquette, you see...

Unraveled by traditions and etiquette

Women hoping to find a mate
Sadie Hawkins Day we celebrate...

ETIQUETTE 

I wrote a poem
waited for all the replies
people said, "Tanka" 
(as they quipped back a note)
I said, "You are most Welcome!"

Hey, Jack-It-Up, it's etiquette,
Yep, Stan-In-Up, a wipe-n-kit,

Outstanding manners we will not let slip
We like afternoon tea
From a cup - hear our plea
Give us a trough if you want a good tip

whose hygiene showed he didn't know etiquette 
if he'd left me alone
he'd still have his own bone
That cold hearted blighter from Connecticut....

But do you know there is an ostrich on your head?

I hate to tell you, but this ostrich is dead....

Twin giraffes are we
each day at five we take tea

With our tongues we lick clean our face
some consider such etiquette a disgrace

There was this Scots golfer Sir Percy Hoar

    Who dinged a poor bloke nigh hole number four

        This made the dude mighty sore

            And after Percy he tore

                Forsooth, Sir Percy failed to bellow FORE...

Once there was a man called Clean"the modern"
His philosophy “Catch the new words, you are modern”
Dressing sense, eating etiquette - nonsense 
Healthy thoughts, personal hygiene- nonsense
Bloody this modus operandi is very catchy. Modern!...

I do not want them in my neighborhood
They do not take care of their properties
They do not have any etiquette or manners training
They always feel someone is discriminating against them
Plus, they are so noisy

But, they believe in God...

Kindness
sans charity
does not satisfy hunger
from others
bellies...
Posture
just by etiquette,
don't offer bread
to someone...
Be active
Be true hearted...
Shelter the
abandoned...
That's the attitude
the lord waits
from us... !...

Beauty
She is flower
From the Eden Garden
Comes for the man as love lady
Heart waits to get her etiquette truly
With zephyr she moves lovingly
Hugs all veins to open
Door of lover

Oh Donald dear, you play well the fool
  speaking thoughtlessly, forgetting etiquette from school.
You could have held so much of the vote
  instead you sway the masses away by words you spoke
How could a millionaire be so politically uncool?...

and cares not for etiquette 
which is the knowing that steers

where ego identity disappears 
whereupon all that is, is

bliss effervescence ...

Around the pond we go
Some are fast and some are slow
Pond Etiquette

First you say hello
to those you do not know
Pond Etiquette

Second time you go 
a wave is all you owe
Pond Etiquette

If you make round three
You'll get a smile from me

it begins with the way
we look at other forms
where lies the fulcrum 
of our consciousness 

let’s begin with a smile
radiating from heart
arising spontaneously 
delighting at contact

discarding etiquette 
love leaps forth with joy
in childlike innocence 
seeing God’s light in all...
