I was always the one for rules.

No Smoking, No Drinking,

Church on Sunday morning, Wednesday nights.

Yes Sir, No Sir, Thank You, You're Welcome,

Excuse Me, Bless You, May I Please Be Excused?

Hold the Door for the Elderly 

Give my Chair to the Elderly

Take Kind Care of the Elderly

Take Your Shoes Off on the Porch

Watch the Kids

Do the chores, and...

No Smoking, No Drinking

All fine rules,

of which I continue to uphold,

But looking around,

sometimes I feel I do it all alone.
