Thank you, ma'm. May I help you, ma'm? General or senior, ma'm? Have a nice day, ma'm.
I hear it here. I hear it there.
I hear this ma'm said everywhere.
In France around la Tour Eiffel
I'm not addressed as mademoiselle.
In Rome they greet "signora, ciao"
Along the Rhine I am a frau.
Is it the strands of gray or one more crease
That cause the title "Miss" to cease?
Perhaps I exude an air of maturity
Though I'm years away from Social Security.
If ma'm is a sign of etiquette
For that I'm just not ready yet.
Yes, I resist but still find it funny --
I'd rather be called ma'm than honey.
