An Old Fashioned Gentleman...

A gentleman doffed his hat

when passing someone in the street;

inferring a respectful greeting

to all whom he chanced to meet.

 

A gentleman walked by the curb

when escorting his wife or mother;

placing a wall of protection

should they be hit by a car or another.

 

A gentleman offered his arm

to a woman when crossing the road;

incase she may fall or stumble,

an unspoken gentleman's code.

 

A gentleman wore his felt hat

for without it he didn't feel dressed;

but inside he would take it right off

when in church to be thoroughly blessed.....
