Filthy Rich

Bacon-wrapped, filet mignon 

Beurre Blanc, or Sabayon 

caviar so delicate 

on your tongue, you will not forget. 

 

Crystal and golden spoons 

Do not forget the tea at noon 

for your name, an abbreviation 

Do not forget the reservation. 

 

A brand-new car in the drive 

my own pool, in which I dive 

all new clothes, every stitch 

How satisfying to be rich.
