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!'
