Nursing Home Manners

 
(Example Two, from Miss Kathleen McNutt)


Finger foods have changed , she said.
Miss Post should be aware.
Mashed potatoes, macaroni,
are finger food affairs.

Manners at the nursing home
are different than I learned.
Forks and spoons and utensils;
quite often, there, are spurned.

So, if you come to visit me
just kindly call ahead
They’ll set a separate table for us.
We’ll dine alone, instead.
