RANDOM ACTS OF UNKINDNESS

RANDOM ACTS OF UNKINDNESS

Roger A. Davis

You’re going down a road, that’s litter they just threw
You enter a toilet stall just vacated, there’s poo-poo
My friend Jack got accused of being unkind
A girl said he was staring lewdly, Jack is blind

Some acts of unkindness are just being rude
Telling a story that another considers crude
Now days the wording on t-shirts and hats
Would before have got us very painful bottom pats

Please and thank you omissions aren’t felonies
But it doesn’t change matters; the magic word is still PLEASE
Driving causes the most acts of random rage in the herd
Seems any unintentional error and many people give the bird

Now even that last line above is to some an offense
I apologize too; I’ll try not to be so dense
I’ll end this poem with Mama Grace's advice
Forgive if you are hurt or offended at least twice
