A time and a place for all things. We act according to the situation and also the company one is in.

I'm a fully grown up man.
Gentleman is something for consideration of others.

I am gentle and a male. Does that make me a gentleman? My grandfather certainly was in the traditional way. He taught me. Ladies first and respect your grandmother. True respect, not from obligation. Not sure of an answer. I am not bi sexual, but neither am i macho. I try to treat all as equals. Sometimes very difficult because fools exist. So do the strong men (and women). Words are my weapon of choice, but that is risky. The risk is to me; that is my gentle male demeanor.

Speak to SirPolee....he used to be the Sweeney and can likely still shove ya down the stairs and make it look like an accident.

Speak to SirPolee....he used to be the Sweeney and can likely still shove ya down the stairs and make it look like an accident. I would rather if i could speak and listen to my grandparents.Loved the time with them. A wild child, but i could not provoke them. Maternal grandfather i barely knew, he died when i was four. Paternal; spent all holidays with them. A relief from, something i should not write. Never hit, hurt physically. Some tough words sure. But that bred respect. I have written before, my paternal grandfather was a stretcher bearer, front line, first world war. He was tough, far tougher than i will ever be. Kind too, but not sentimental. His love for my grandmother was so very obvious. Yep, a gentleman. When his shop was bombed in the second world war, he was at home. His apprentice was killed. It devastated him, but he rebuilt. Always showed respect to all. Maybe he had many faults, but i was a kid ;a kid when he died. I know not, only fond memories.

Daddy BY SYLVIA PLATH You do not do, you do not do Any more, black shoe In which I have lived like a foot For thirty years, poor and white, Barely daring to breathe or Achoo.
Daddy, I have had to kill you. You died before I had time—— Marble-heavy, a bag full of God, Ghastly statue with one gray toe Big as a Frisco seal
And a head in the freakish Atlantic Where it pours bean green over blue In the waters off beautiful Nauset. I used to pray to recover you. Ach, du.
In the German tongue, in the Polish town Scraped flat by the roller Of wars, wars, wars. But the name of the town is common. My Polack friend
Says there are a dozen or two. So I never could tell where you Put your foot, your root, I never could talk to you. The tongue stuck in my jaw.
It stuck in a barb wire snare. Ich, ich, ich, ich, I could hardly speak. I thought every German was you. And the language obscene
An engine, an engine Chuffing me off like a Jew. A Jew to Dachau, Auschwitz, Belsen. I began to talk like a Jew. I think I may well be a Jew.
The snows of the Tyrol, the clear beer of Vienna Are not very pure or true. With my gipsy ancestress and my weird luck And my Taroc pack and my Taroc pack I may be a bit of a Jew.
I have always been scared of you, With your Luftwaffe, your gobbledygoo. And your neat mustache And your Aryan eye, bright blue. Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You——
Not God but a swastika So black no sky could squeak through. Every woman adores a Fascist, The boot in the face, the brute Brute heart of a brute like you.
You stand at the blackboard, daddy, In the picture I have of you, A cleft in your chin instead of your foot But no less a devil for that, no not Any less the black man who
Bit my pretty red heart in two. I was ten when they buried you. At twenty I tried to die And get back, back, back to you. I thought even the bones would do.
But they pulled me out of the sack, And they stuck me together with glue. And then I knew what to do. I made a model of you, A man in black with a Meinkampf look
And a love of the rack and the screw. And I said I do, I do. So daddy, I’m finally through. The black telephone’s off at the root, The voices just can’t worm through.
If I’ve killed one man, I’ve killed two—— The vampire who said he was you And drank my blood for a year, Seven years, if you want to know. Daddy, you can lie back now.
There’s a stake in your fat black heart And the villagers never liked you. They are dancing and stamping on you. They always knew it was you. Daddy, daddy, you bastard, I’m through.
