Polite · P-O-L-I-T-E

The trough queue asked for manners that leave room for the next drinker.
POLITE, said Spike. P-O-L-I-T-E. Six letters. Soft turn.
Suzy sounded each letter once, then the whole word like a steady step.
Polite means wait your turn and leave space so others can finish too.
Adventure Cap wanted to push first. Care said spell polite, then pause.
Thinking Cap habit: letters first, then the step. Cap does not invent queue magic.
A shy goat took the gap Suzy left and the trough stayed calm.
Little Thunder kept mahogany distance from splash theatre.
Kids: spell P-O-L-I-T-E before you take a turn at a shared sink.
Farm words live in your feet as much as on a page.
Tools remind. You still choose the soft turn.
P-O-L-I-T-E. Space. Kind queue.
P-O-L-I-T-E. Soft turn.
