Greetings and salutations


At times, just as I say, "hello,"
I'm greeted with, "Hi, dude," or "bro,'"
From strangers, none of whom I know,
At places where I spend my dough.

I think that "sir" shows me respect,
A salutation I suspect
Remains, as always, quite correct;
At least it was, last time I checked.
