Decor
The homes displayed in magazines
Are opulent or spare.
In either case, it’s hard to picture
Ever living there.
The lavish and extravagant
To me are too ornate.
With all that chintz, brocade and toile,
I think I’d suffocate.
And as for “modern” rooms, they seem
Too empty, bare and bleak;
While some are soothed by all that space,
It’s not a style I’d seek.
So let the rich spend money
On their million dollar lairs.
My digs would not appeal to them
But nor, to me, do theirs!
