Impoliteness Reigns
When Skip Lane ordered steak but was served chow mein,
he said aloud, "I must complain !"
He did, only to have his waitress exclaim, "Buddy
boy, you're lucky to be in out of the rain."
Lane - shocked by this ill-mannered vein of disdain - said, "I find my temper
hard to rein. Never have I seen such im•po•lite•ness reign, especially here in
Duquesne, and in a public domain.
“No tip shall I tip you,” Skip said to Jane, “for ev•i•dent•ly you’re already
quite tipsy on champagne !”

To see buffalo range.
Near the Rocky Mountain range.
You might think that some have the mange,
But it’s just an old coat that they’re trying to exchange.
