Explore "Politeness" by Gelett Burgess on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I think it would be lots of fun / To be polite to every one; / A boy would doff his little hat, / A girl would curtsey, just like that!
And both would use such words as these: / "_Excuse me, Sir_," and "_If you please_;"
Not only just at home, you know, / But everywhere that they should go.
