Can you please explain why it is so ironic?

I’m making a list
I’m making a list of the things I must say for politeness,

And goodness and kindness and gentleness, sweetness and rightness:

Hello

Pardon me

How are you

Excuse me

Bless you

May I?

Thank you

Goodbye

If you know some that I forgot,

Please stick them into your eye!
Like what can I say other than "In the beginning he/she is talking about being polite, then at the end he/she tells you to stick it in your eye"
