True chivalry is slowly dying
A lost art to most
Gentlemen forgotten and run over
In their faces bad ones boast
Chivalry just must not matter
Nor does it get recognition due
How did we get to this point?
Explain as I don’t have a clue
Who still appreciates this art?
Should I really care?
Oh, how this is debated inside!
A new approach need prepare?
If we all are equal
Many think this art should go
But, what’s wrong with it still?
I guess I’ll call the AFL-CIO

Board the train
Before it leaves
Once departed your seat
You can’t retrieve
Take your seat early
Or at least on time
Don’t plan on departure delays
That would be such a crime
The train is forward facing
It doesn’t go in reverse
A beautiful journey ahead
No hindsight worry curse
So will you be aboard
When the train leaves the station?
Or will you regret later
The missed trip and celebration?

Hope for the nice guy
Is there such a thing?
Someone willing and able
To remove this hurtful sting
Hope for the nice guy
A player he is not
A patient and true gentleman
Worthy of a full-fledged shot
Hope for the nice guy
Really too much to ask?
Some days are so trying
And shouldn’t feel like a task
Hope for the nice guy
He must be doing wrong
Only so much he can handle
Even though he’s really strong

Cool evening air
In tough battle alone
Followed all the rules
Much courage I’ve shown
The dim stars in the sky
Still reveal some hope
Yet another storm or two
I’m surely to cope
Prepared as best a soldier can
To win the war today
Aiming with warrior focus
Figuring out the right way
This battle night so long
And tired I grow some more
But carry on I must
And see what future’s in store
