Gentleman

As she walked by him she couldn’t help but smile at his son 

An adorable little person, impressionable and carefree 

Then she heard his comment 

Something about her becoming his stepmother 

And then, she understood

This is is why so many men are single 

They just don’t know how to act 

They just don’t know how to talk to women 

It’s almost as if guys nowadays enjoy complaining 

About not being able to find a nice girl 

Because let’s be honest 

What kind of girl do you expect to find 

When you can’t even talk to her nicely 

Good looks can only go so far 

It’s about buenos modales–good manners 

That so many seem to lack these days 

Like those guys that just say hello in an authoritative way 

Because they want to make sure that you catch their drift 

As if there were any doubts 

But will they ever understand?

That the age old adage is true 

It pays to be nice 

Geez louise gentlemen 

Can we please be clear that it’s all in the schmoozing

Harry and Sally almost didn’t work out 

Because when they first met there was too much going on 

Too much arguing and not enough lovin’ 

So try to understand 

This is why she turns her head and keeps going
