Manners And Attitude Rehab

You'll probably laugh,
Or groan and gripe.
Or maybe you'll agree
And think I'm right.

I know that there are
Rehabs to help people
Kick destructive habits that hurt
Their health and make their minds dull.

There are places to help
People deal with depression,
And doctors to help some
With memory repression.

I think the world also needs
Rehab centers for manners
And attitude adjustments.
It would certainly help matters.

These rehabs would be for
EVERYONE, each country's
Leaders, right down to their
Children--to teach them early.

I don't mean manners
As in Emily Post,
I'm talking the type
The world needs the most.

Lately these days, some
People seem rude--
They show no respect,
Only attitude.

Don't know if they
Weren't taught how to act,
Or good manners and decent attitudes
Don't apply to them and are crap.

Everyone needs to brush up
On showing kindness and respect.
And having a better attitude,
They'll be amazed at the responses they get.

Being mean and greedy
Won't get you much in life.
Trouble and early death--
Just because you can't act right.
