Notes About The Poem

 

The World and Lifestyle of a Tycoon

He sure enjoys 
his life of Reilly; 
lavishly living it up! 
A globe-trotter. 
A man-about-town. 
He's a big hit 
with the ladies, 
and he doesn't mind 
all the attention. 
He's a big spender. 
Did I mention 
he's got style, too? 
An unlit Cuban cigar 
is always seen dangling 
from his mouth. 
He's not a smoker, 
it's for the look. 
He's fashion-savvy, 
collecting Rolex watches, 
ray ban sunglasses, 
fedora hats, 
and Versace suits. 
He loves his cars 
costly and fast; 
a Porsche here, 
a Lamborghini there 
On weekends, 
he sets sail 
on his fancy yacht, 
flying high 
on his private jet. 
He kills time 
on the golf course 
hitting the links 
with millionaire friends, 
throwing parties, 
and showing off 
his trophy wife 
His escargot dinners 
are always served 
on high-end china. 
He swigs champagne 
from crystal. 
Oh, what a life!

these people make me sick. Makes me hope that reincarnation exists so they can see how the other side has to live one day!! I sure enjoyed this, Edward, and yes, your contest inspired me and I was so glad that Brian liked my tomorrow poem also.
