Just above a gentleman,
and just below a knight,
sits a word,
all men should know.
It is expected of the best,
but not from the least,
and will make you stand out,
farther than the average Joe.
It is giving up,
your seat on the bus,
to another simply because he is older.
It is loaning your jacket,
to a girl simply because she is colder.
It is holding open,
a door for a woman,
who has to many stuff in her hands.
It is helping a person,
with their shopping cart,
because there is to many grocery bags.
It is helping an elderly
lady to her car
because it's real dark,
scary, and far.
The term is chivalry,
also known as, 'being polite'.
It is a code right above a gentleman,
and right below a knight.

Good write Forever. Will knights do these things too, or are they too pompous?
There are all kinds of soldiers, but only few can be knights. That is why people always like knights - hence the phrase (my knight in shining armor), is used whenever a guy saves a woman. Still, I think you are missing the point.
Beautifullllllll thoughts! You are a gentleman Sir!
Oh I see - below a knight. I had taken it in the sense of 'it's below me, I'm too grand to do those things'.
Oh alright, well I am happy that you understand.
