Finer Things In Life

Champagne kisses and caviar dreams these are a few of my favorite things
butler to pick up my phone when it rings 
parakeets to sing to me 
service at the snap of my fingers
the finer things in life are often exotic splendors 
far off the smell of old bones rust in rains of gold 
take off your glasses
shards of dimes blind bright eyes 
look at the moon
full tonight pregnant with life 
look at it, then tell me money is the only thing that makes you happy, honey.

Enjoyed the contrast! Don’t take the sun or the moon from me nor the trees and flowers...take a diamond if you must ;)
