Lessons a Lady must learn

There are so many lessons a lady must learn

Do not think it is merely about being sweet

Good future wives should be fluent in French

They should sew, play piano and sing to high standards

Then there is parenting and sorting the nanny

She must be engaging at social events

And be a master of the art of conversation

Her manners must be exactly right

And her fashion selection correct to the buttons

Until she is married and runs a home like clockwork

She should be dainty and walk with grace

There is so very much to learn

But these are the basics of a Lady
