Can I be Polite?

Can you be polite?

Yes, please and thank you, I believe so. When?

Can you be polite during war?

Sure. The kindliness of war is quite genteel and soothing to my manners. What else?

Can you be courteous tomorrow?

Yesterday, I lost my job. Today, I lost my home. Tomorrow my kids cannot afford college. Okay, I can add civility to my graciousness the day after tomorrow. What else?

Will you be mannerly after my speech?

I'll try. Is telling the truth a civility we can afford?
Thank you so much. Thank you.

You are most welcome.
