Unexpected
For Mr. George Driven (by the dollar)
he loves crown casino
gold and glitter
that match his flashing smile
and thin tin tinsel'd aura
bells and whistles of a poker machine
he loves the mercedes driven by
the crim's wife
a gold coast special
of botox and surgery
a glossy magazine gum chewer
i shall turn up at the airport
and throw a confetti of 100 dollar notes
at his feet
watch him blanche
and send him on his way

ReplyDeleteI'm sure I've known guys like this - never tempted to bask in the "thin tinsel'd aura" for long though...
ReplyDeleteGlossy magazine gum chewer - so many interesting fun phrases here! k.
ReplyDeleteHigh society high flyer with an equally inclined wife. Confetti of 100 bucks bills are fitting. Nicely Cressida!

Sadly the Georges of this world are now the majority with their ever fixation and grasping for money and material possessions to impress.
ReplyDeleteWow! A vivid portrait of a shallow man...amazing imagery in this. Very well written!
