On Manners, Rude Dicks & Klondike Bars

Pop Tart at KKC shows us a few pages from her copy of Your Manners Are Showing, by Betty Betz (1946). My favorite one is this one:

How crude and rude of Dick to eat
While walking gaily down the street
(Perhaps he nibbles on the roam
Because he's starved by folks at home!)
If one is to believe that a crude and rude dick's behavior is based on how well he is satisfied at home, then no man earns a Klondike bar; his woman does.

And, by the same token, this girl is to "blame" for this rude dick's use of the LG Shine.

Oh wow - my mother had a copy of this from her youth, and I used to read it growing up! I'd totally forgotten the name, though. Thanks for the reminder!
