Kvetching

If all your basic needs are met, Your bills are paid, no cause to fret, Whatever food you want, you’ll get – It’s then you can be kvetching. For if you have no place to sleep And hunger makes you want to weep, The only thoughts your mind can keep Might deal with budget stretching. It takes some chutzpah to complain When others’ lives are filled with pain, Yet human nature can’t refrain From some entitled retching.

The elites are kvetching, and we willy-lump-lumps are all retching. ~ Will E.
