Another sillier take on the prompt

There are certain things a gentleman never does These are written down for the sake of society Handed down from above, by those who know better So please read them carefully down to the letter

Never hog the limelight when entertaining at parties Never use “hog” when referencing a pig Always mind your ps and qs in the company of strangers Always try to be on the side of the angels

If you want to break the rules Don’t give in to temptation Don’t join in with the band of fools Be a gentleman for the duration

Rules aren’t made to be broken Rules are made to be followed Some are written down not spoken Breakage only leads to sorrow

Don’t break the rules Don’t even bend them Don’t break the rules Don’t even bend them
