are a reflection
of their true colors

Mawmaw Sez...
wash your hands before every meal
and don't forget to say grace
no elbows on the table
or I'll put you in your place
sit up straight and use your manners
and never follow the crowd
learn these lessons quickly
and of that I will be proud
always listen politely
don't chew your food like a cow
after you finish all your asparagus
it is then you can take a bow
be nice to the neighbors when you can
and help old ladies across the street
before you walk into my house
remember to wipe your feet

eat your dinner
and do it fast
these cornbread muffins
will never last
the gravy's boiling
and the chickens done
we'll eat some pie
'fore the day is done
apple, blueberry
and brown sugar peach
prize winning fruit
within your reach
now sit up straight
let's say the grace
we always do
at mawmaws place

Your moods
should not dictate
your use of manners
and remember
Two of the most
magical words
you will ever utter
please and thank you

I find myself wondering
about young men today
why don't they open doors
for their women?
What happened to chivalry?
Please don't start screaming
about women "burning their bras"
because there's more to it than that
What happened to the generation
of fathers that taught their sons
about respecting ladies
and protecting them?
now it seems most of the
younger male generation
use girls for ****** gratification
and personal idolization
I have granddaughters
they have been taught well
they will not degrade themselves
for some pimple faced ****
with a bad attitude
come on down to Maw Maws house
I'll give a lesson or two about manners
yup me, my sweet tea and my trusty 347
bring it on *******
this old lady ain't no frump

always use your manners
even when you're home
nothing wrong with etiquette
where ever you may roam
please and thank you always
and never get too loud
remember to stay humble
and make your Maw Maw proud
always help the elderly
and don't be in a rush
speak kindly to young ladies
their hearts you should not crush
no smoking, no drinking
and staying out all night
use your words instead of fists
and please try not to fight
wash your face and cut your hair
and try to dress a little snappy
cause it's your job to try and keep
your mawmaw very happy

you must clean your room everyday
before you go to bed
because what do you think would happen
if you decided to wake up dead?
your mother would be in a tizzy
and your dad would be getting the brunt
your sister would be screaming
"why would he pull such a stunt?"
the funeral home would be calling
wanting to talk about the huge bill
and just a couple of questions
like did you have a living will?
they'd have to go in your bedroom
to see what they could find
rummaging through your messes
your dear mother would lose her mind
there would be a whole lot of crying
and the sense of impending doom
none of this would have happened
if you had just cleaned your room
so listen to what Maw Maw tells you
you can take it directly to the bank
so **** in that quivering bottom lip
you know I'm gonna give it a yank
I hope you learned a lesson today
on how to keep a tidy little room
if I see it ***** again
I'm gonna tan your hide with my broom

When asking for something
you should always say please
if I hear ya getting rude
I'll drop ya to your knees
Always use your thank you
don't ever be a *****
if I catch ya being mean
I'll beat you with a switch
No interrupting people
this I already said
you better use “excuse me”
or I'll cuff you in the head
When ever you're in doubt
always ask permission
if you don't do this
you'll be taken out of commission
Keep your negativity to yourself
and never ever be crass
if I catch you mouthin' off
I'll kick you in the ***
No making fun of appearances
I won't put up with that
if I hear you doing this
I'll smash you with a bat
Never open up a door
without knocking first
let me catch you doing that
your bubble I will burst
Use your quiet voice inside
you really shouldn't yell
If Maw Maw hears you doing that
you're gonna catch some hell
No one likes a ***** mouth
you really shouldn't cuss
don't you even do it
or you'll really make me fuss
I hope you learn these lessons
and try not to be bad
use your manners daily
and never make Maw Maw mad

remember to be kind to your mother
and always respect her wishes
and if you're still living in her house
get off your **** and do some dishes
grab a broom and sweep some floors
it'll really do you some good
wash the car and take out the trash
and then go chop some wood
go do some grocery shopping
and buy some bags of food
and maybe cook a dinner
for your mom and the rest of the brood
always take care of your parents
if not for them you would surely be dead
that might be an over exaggeration
I know that just messed with your head
always use some compassion
and don't even tell a small lie
if you lose your integrity
the price you pay will be high
at night say a prayer to our father
and thank him for being your friend
and ask him if at all possible
tomorrow you'd like to do it again

Eating quietly
is the thing to do
so please don't talk
whilst you chew
Smacking and slurping
I will never allow
or spitting and drooling
like an old milk cow
No laughing or giggling
at the table round
mess with Maw Maw
and I'll take you down

The chain
on my mood swing
snapped today
and I just about went ballistic
when I saw my husbands
cluttered closet
*** as frightening as a bomb scare)
I yelled at him for the 100th time
to get with the program and
instead of cleaning it for him
I handed him my phone and said
"Here's my phone, it has GPS
so you can find your way back
and please be home by dinnertime"
for some reason, he found no humor in that

Be good to each other
and forgive when you can
lend a hand to the weary
and be kind even when it hurts
spread the love all over town
and defend your family
respect your elders
and mostly love yourself
you're worth it

My bones are really aching
and I think I have the flu
I need some cottony tissues
and some very hot chicken stew
But
don't you think for a minute
that Maw Maw's really sick
just cause Ima scratchin'
like a hound dog with a tick
Give me just a day or two
and I'll be good as gold
don't ever go and count me out
just because I'm old
