Aristocratic Newsboy
They start their jobs at age so young
And bring the news as they are stung
But one would think who would employ
A rich, affluent paperboy?
And such a sight means prejudice
It makes the crowd incredulous
"You shouldn't flaunt and be more coy,
How did your ma raise such a boy?"
For the boy's kin is of great wealth
And so is his insuranced health
Instead of news he should deploy
A money chance for another boy.
He's pride-possessed; it comes from cash
Because he works with news to dash
However that's what brings him joy;
The reason why he's a newsboy.
