I'Ll Be a 'Naire Yet

To be a millionaire With all of the fanfare May never be my fate Since I started too late Sure I have some savings But they’re barely shavings Compared to the stout tree That a millionaire be I’m not a malcontent But I kind of resent That my saved pile of dough Is short one more zero Though I keep working hard I think that I am barred In becoming a ‘naire Which seems so far from fair But that got me thinking I’m not a ship sinking I could become a ‘naire Maybe one that’s quite rare How ‘bout a husband-naire Though with some graying hair With home as my palace It has a smug status Or be an enjoyer As a great employer Of huge business affairs When I’m a boss-inaire! Or let life unravel When I go and travel And visit everywhere As a vacation-aire I’ll become debonair As the best lover-naire Since something was missing Like passionate kissing Yet don’t start concluding There’s no wife eluding For in all due fairness She is my babe-nairess Yet I cannot deny I’m that everyday guy Who is always there A regular-guy-naire! And since I do well at Or rather excel at I have become that rare Normal-guy-tycoonaire!`

I refuse to comment to you as if you were merely an ordinary poet because you are not. Your uniqueness and originality floor me. You covered many aspects of human existence in a short space of time. The use of the suffix, -Aire,has me in total crackup. You have not only a mastery of English, but the courage to write more than two lines. You set an example for all Of us,,To Be Original! Merci, Pangie

I myself buy into this, David. My goal is now to become a 'Wordinaire!'
