Elite Lament

We of the upper persuasion resent the insipid invasion of the lessers you see who lack pedigree who properly are nothing like me. My people have always been seen where miscreants never have been playing polo the equestrian way or golfing where elites only play. Better to inherit than to labor it's things artistic that we favor creating is best not to try we prefer beauty that we buy. Pampered privacy is surely sought entitled exclusion is usually bought seeking always to own what is better expecting excellence right to the letter. Off season where we all go our delight is to fashionably show when we know all the faces that's where the right place is. Resist as we will, change is here it's the worst of all that we fear gilded times are fading away only our thinking is likely to stay.
