Preferences Pedestrian

A faded white shirt
    accents his rumpled brown suit
  He takes his place unobtrusively
    sits content, quietly

  His preferences pedestrian
    narrowly bourgeoisie
  Guests sample exotic liquors
    His pleasure is tea

  He cares not for flaming duck, nor for pheasant-under-glass
    His pudgy fingers put a chokehold on a peanut butter sandwich
  For dessert, the raspberry tort was recommended
    ~ Buffett pockets two mints, peppermint-scented

Buffett fascinates me: Still brown-bags it to work several days a week (at age 93 ). Been living in a modest 3-BR Ranch home in Nebraska for 50+ years. And he's like a magnet for money! ... Thanks, Bill.
