A bump on the arm by a busy passerby,
Never looked back and I sigh,

Or couldn't stray from some mission.

And tardiness, though common, results in penance.
Manners are rarer these days, it seems,
As individuals take the honor, and not the team.

Please, say please and thank you,
If not for me, then for you.
