\nManearlik<\/em><\/big>
\n                                        foar in bern fan 1918<\/em><\/p>\n

Wy sieten tegearre op de bok
\ndoe\u2019t myn pake tsjin my sei:
\n\u2018Tink derom, sprek elkenien oan
\ndy\u2019tst mar tsjinkomst \u00fbnderweis.\u2019<\/p>\n

Wy kamen in frjemdling tsjin te foet.
\n\u2018Goendei, minhear. Noch in moaie dei.\u2019
\nPake syn swipe tikke tsjin syn hoed
\nen ik b\u00fbgde d\u00ear\u2019t ik siet en sei it nei.<\/p>\n

Doe kamen wy kunde, in jonge, achterop
\nmei in krie op \u2019t skouder, tam en grut.
\n\u2018Jou altyd elkenien in lift;
\n\u00fbnth\u00e2ld dat, asto \u00e2lder wurdst,\u2019<\/p>\n

sei pake. Dat Willy klom n\u00east \u00fas
\nop de bok, mar \u2018Kra!\u2019 die doe de krie
\nen hy fleach fuort. Ik wie \u00fbnger\u00east.
\nHoe wist er w\u00ear\u2019t er hinne gie?<\/p>\n

Mar hy fleach mar koarte stikjes foar\u00fat,
\nfan hamei nei hamei, en joech replyk
\nas Willy floite. \u2018In b\u00easte f\u00fbgel,
\nen goed opbrocht ek, dat blykt,\u2019<\/p>\n

sei pake, \u2018prate jo tsjin him,
\ndan wit er kreas beskie te jaan.
\nMinske of bist, manearlik is \u2019t.
\nDat moatte jim ek altyd dwaan.\u2019<\/p>\n

Rieden der automobilen foarby,
\ndan waarden gesichten achter stof wei.
\nSa l\u00fbd as wy koenen r\u00f4pen wy dochs
\n\u2018Goendei! Goendei! In moaie dei!\u2019<\/p>\n

Wy kamen by Hustler Hill en pake sei
\ndat de merje no wol wurch w\u00eaze soe,
\ndus stapten wy \u00f4f en r\u00fbnen doe,
\nsa\u2019t \u00fas manearlikens it woe.<\/p>\n

Manners<\/em><\/big>
\n                                        for a Child of 1918<\/em><\/p>\n

My grandfather said to me
\nas we sat on the wagon seat,
\n\u201cBe sure to remember to always
\nspeak to everyone you meet.\u201d<\/p>\n

We met a stranger on foot.
\nMy grandfather\u2019s whip tapped his hat.
\n\u201cGood day, sir. Good day. A fine day.\u201d
\nAnd I said it and bowed where I sat.<\/p>\n

Then we overtook a boy we knew
\nwith his big pet crow on his shoulder.
\n\u201cAlways offer everyone a ride;
\ndon’t forget that when you get older,\u201d<\/p>\n

my grandfather said. So Willy
\nclimbed up with us, but the crow
\ngave a \u201cCaw!\u201d and flew off. I was worried.
\nHow would he know where to go?<\/p>\n

But he flew a little way at a time
\nfrom fence post to fence post, ahead;
\nand when Willy whistled he answered.
\n\u201cA fine bird,\u201d my grandfather said,<\/p>\n

\u201cand he\u2019s well brought up. See, he answers
\nnicely when he\u2019s spoken to.
\nMan or beast, that\u2019s good manners.
\nBe sure that you both always do.\u201d<\/p>\n

When automobiles went by,
\nthe dust hid the people\u2019s faces,
\nbut we shouted \u201cGood day! Good day!
\nFine day!\u201d at the top of our voices.<\/p>\n

When we came to Hustler Hill,
\nhe said that the mare was tired,
\nso we all got down and walked,
\nas our good manners required.<\/p>\n
