Manners

Proper salutation
Not some half-assed
Bobble of the blade

Shake with true regard
Don't slap, or cringe as if avoiding
Leprosy

Hold on to the socket
Hand it to
The next one up

Extra credit: when defeated
Cheer your opponent
In their next DE

Share—snacks, chairs, credit,
Spare equipment, everything but blame
Courtesy’s embedded in the nature of our game
