The World of the One Percent

The World of the One Percent By Elton Camp The super rich is who these folks are More wealthy than old Croesus by far They reside in the most fabulous estate Privacy protected by a guarded gate A mansion with elevators & indoor pool Where as kings and queens they rule Sparkling clean and always kept that way By staff: butler, maids, cooks and the valet “The master is quite indisposed,” they say To any who may attempt to visit that day Breakfast in bed they can anytime enjoy Where they is nothing around to annoy Even doctors willingly pay them a house call As do stylists, masseurs, barbers—one and all Personal shoppers go out to buy their clothes Unless a tailor comes—it’s sure one of those For it is only poor folks, down on their luck Who have go and shop at Sears & Roebuck Since only the little people pay income tax In carrying their fair load they are found lax Certainly, no self indulgences do they spare For the uncouth masses they have little care Unless James brings around the limousine It’s in a mere $200,000 car they are seen A world of incredible privilege is theirs Where they relax without having any cares
