Gears Spin Out a Provocative Question

spending time, charmed by all the goodies
...a weight room, pool and foosball tables and
a padded room with a wrestling mat and dummies.

a kids paradise.  Little girls backflipping, colliding
with little boys. ...with choke holds and all.

upon disembarking this adventure, past the fountain,
and stepping on ritzy road of the very rich,

the school age thinker asks, with a gulp, gears spinning
in his overwhelmed head:

“What does someone have to do to live in a place like this?”

Thanks, Demetrios. We went to a party for wrestling referees. Our two grandsons came with us and had such fun!
