Who Shot Chivalry

When a man opens the door for a lady what would you expect?
On the one hand it is an extension of mannerisms risen from home
training.
Remaining seated as a lady joins or leaves a table is fabled to be bad
taste.
Faced with journeying down a street with a lady have the man closer to
the road, a lady is never to walk the street.
He brought roses to her mother, and smoked cigarettes with her father.
All fuel for the fodder; She shot chivalry.
Indiscriminately slaughtered in her lust for ignorance.
They called him thirsty as they lusted for dope dick and a bill.
Or they sold their flower to the highest bidder forgetting that bidders
frequent auctions.
Chivalry was murdered- the gentleman has been falsely outranked by
the thug.
Hoodlums amount to little, but a gentleman...
A gentleman can blossom into a syndicate.
A gentleman will calculate further than arithmetic.
They move like calculus.
They operate on trust.
They abide by the code.
The code is simple.
All women are reminiscent of your mother clustered with your sister.
They are a collective, show respect- men, submit to your lady in they
hope they submit to you.
Chivalry rested with trust. Trust was kidnapped and lost her partner.
