“A GENTLEMAN’S PRIDE”

Where do a gentleman’s pride lies?

It is beyond his colorful dangling ties

Or in a sleek suit and his wide grin smiles

Where do a gentleman’s pride lies?

Not in his carefully brushed up hair

Nor the expensive shoes he likes to pair

Where do a gentleman’s pride lies?

Maybe in his expressive long strides

Or his perfume scent you’re trying to hide

Where do a gentleman’s pride lies?

In the tics and tocs of his cane I bet not

Woven in his silky sleeves? I think of it a lot

I think we’re looking in the wrong place

It is in his treatment of his loved parents

And his calmly demeanor in deadly torrents

Maybe it is not a place per se at very all

A class he shows in front of the crowds,

The way he handle his lady with gracious bows

In one of a tale a kingsman once said

Dear boy, thy manners maketh a man

Walk the righteous path,

Speak the truth beyond that,

Treat others with much respect,

This things you’ll never regret,

Now dear boy you know where it lies

Pledge!
Make it the very motto of your own life!
