Manners wast meant to be taught,
It was meant to be realized,
It depends on one's personality,
If they do not learn, they fall...

They won't be nice,
They won't have grace,
They won't learn,
They won't listen.

If they fall,
The become criminals,
Stealing goods and snatching dolls,
They would not be forgiven by God.

I hope you will learn,
That is what I yearn,
A world full of light,
Not a place of despair.

If you don't learn manners,
A terrible person is what you'll be,
Hated by all,
Befriended by none.

Now do you get,
The importance of manners?
Start out small,
Grow into good.
