The Escort
it's true, I just don't have what it takes to belong
to your so-called circles of sociable elite,
who give a lot of fuss about what's right or wrong
in my pedigree, in how I laugh, how I eat;
seems in your grand parties, I don't exist at all,
they talk about big money, properties, who's who;
I' d rather have chilled beer, dartboard on the wall,
but they say you ought to have a man, thus, I' m with you;
well, not my job, but let me say it just the same:
it's what you may seem to them that's worrying you,
part of your job, but a tricky make-believe game
that you must play and win, I understand, I do.
