Fancy's not Free

I’ve always wanted fancy So my car’s a Bentley Why am I not satisfied For years I’ve craved a mansion My house cost me a ransom Why am I empty inside Seems my car and my house don’t add up to much ~ Could Midas have lost his touch

Midas' golden touch has turned to tin, it seems. Thanks, Darlene.

Outstanding. While clever, your poem is thought provoking. Gosh, I'd forgotten about dear ol' Midas.

I'd forgotten about dear ol' Midas too, Sara. Apparently the King was quite successful in getting his brand to 'muffle' his 'golden touch.' ~ Mr. Mine E. Key
