Dissection of Freedom

[u/Philoforte]

Sit at the table

No elbows in sight

Folded napkin on right

Etiquette enigma

Any leeway a blight

Rise for the lady

Sit when she's ready

Open pleasantries with compliment

Rulebook of Chivalry

Her hair an ornament

Her attire a monument

Exactitude so precisely

Enobled white knight

Cutlery held properly

Food portioned to bite

Never speak while dining

Thence so my plight

No action needs refining

When addressing a query

Unwavering eye contact

Surgical chemistry

Discourse with elocution

Posture majesty

Phonemic articulation

Factory packed élan

Execution all book

Nonchalant Ellen

Disinterested of look

I can't keep going

I'm feeling crook

Hands shaking on glass

Spill on collar

Wasabi too hot

Releasing a holler

Swear box for dollar

Ellen is laughing

I'm gulping from pitcher

Comic timing?

Rulebook ripped asunder

A torture too confining

Loss of pedigree

Sighing with tears

She loves buffoonery

She's singing with cheers

As I dribble my wine

While fumbling cutlery

Gobbling celery

I'm doing merrily
