song of etiquette dilemmas

[betteroffbad]

Two women who meet at a watering-place
Or the house of a common friend
May finds themselves uncertain how to pace
Their visits toward a graceful end

If your hostess out of ignorance
To your enemy should introduce you
It's better not to make a fuss
Just nod and say it's nice to meet you

And should you run out of calling cards
While paying calls from door to door
Don't break the window glass to shards
Just amble home and order more
