My Limousine

My Limousine 

By Elton Camp

I want you all to know I have a stretch limousine
In a mere little sedan I simply refuse to be seen
Some things in life will show others what you are
One of them is your house, but especially your car

I pass on the road, and want envious heads to turn
My limo will, the unwashed masses, respect earn
And whenever it is on some day trip I have gone,
I sit in the back and enjoy a bit of my Grey Poupon

To those of your who, in a limo have never ridden,
The pleasures of wealthy people remain well hidden
So, if it is just some mere tradesperson that you are
You’ll never be able to own a limo as fine as my car

Is this a snob speaking?  Perhaps, but for an alternate
interpretation, go to the following::
