People Do Not Care Rant.

I was sitting drinking coffee

Talking to a friend

When they came in,

A couple of a certain age.

He pushed open the door

And walked through,

The door started to shut

And she had to push the door.

Why did he not hold the door open,

Surely it is polite to do so,

But no he showed no respect.

I was aghast at this,

Has respect and politeness left this world.

I hold the door open for many,

Like that time I was walking to a door,

A lady was behind me,

I opened the door for her

She looked at me and said,

“You don’t have to hold the door open

Because I am a woman!”

I replied “I am not doing that,

I am doing it because I am a gentleman”

Where has politeness and respect gone?

It means so much to many,

But is that nowadays

People do not care!
