P´s AND Q´s:

Grandpapa told me, that I should always be a lady,

Always be polite my dear, never dubious & shady,

Keep your eyes down; never stare with look a-blazon,

Always be demure my dear, never hard brash & brazen.

 

Always smell of roses & lilacs dear, a ladylike bouquet,

Never dab those perfumes, of gaudy & harsh nosegays,

Never show a hint, of silky lace, gauze & titillating frills,

To tantalize the gentlemen & give the beaus their thrills.

 

Laugh only gently dear, with gloved hand up to your lips,

Never indulge in gluttony & from wine glass, just tiny sips,

Keep out of harsh sunlight & maintain your corn-silk cheek,

With just a hint of rose my dear, to stop you looking bleak.

 

Remember you´re a Lady dear, in your bearing & in name,

Do not ever bring upon yourself, embarrassment & shame,

And being harsh & vulgar dear, will never-ever, folk amuse,

But most importantly of all my dear, remember your P´s & Q´s.
