Quatrain of Last Name
Last Name - for children only
As a child I was taught to speak
to my elders using only
a prefixed last
name,
Today, this old fashioned pattern
of etiquette seems to
many at least very
lame.
Perhaps we should return to this
practice and teach homage
to thine elder
sage.
Dignity does not bruise the mind,
and you will wish for
respect in your old
age.
