hen friends invite you out to dine
In company elite and fine,
Miss Manners is your gracious guide,
So always keep her by your side.
Converse in low and genteel tones;
Make little noise when crunching bones;
Remove the toenails from your soup;
But never use the sugar scoop.
Do not spear eyeballs with your knife;
Make etiquette your way of life.
Make use of what is opportune –
For brains are eaten with a spoon.
