Keep Your Elbows Off the Table

It's time to abolish that silly old rule.

Keep Your Elbows Off the Table

 

By Elton Camp

 

It has always been the rule

Both at home and in school

Elbows on table were a crime

And not permitted at any time

 

There’s no reason it should stop

Elbows are a really handy prop

If elbows, man and God offend,

Why are arms are made to bend?

Ha ha! A lovely ending couplet. This is a very nice poem, Elton. Short, to the point, and very witty.
