The Arrogance of Wealth
The Arrogance of Wealth
By Elton Camp
“Dowager Countess” you must call me
Any familiarity and evil will befall ye
I am a very wealthy aristocrat
I am sure you are jealous of that
I hold a most lofty station in life
Free from mundane tasks or strife
When I speak, all present must heed
Servants fulfill my smallest need
Not the least disrespect will I allow
In my presence you are to kowtow
My superior kind of people are few
I have little use for the likes of you
English people I can barely tolerate
But Americans I most intensely hate
King, queen, duke or earl I entertain
A lowly baron outside must remain
If you do not go along with tradition
Then I shall assign you to perdition
Over Downton I once did preside
My son still there does reside
So always remember just who I am
Respectfully address me as “Ma’am”
