Truly Fake Rolex

When I was still in the company's 
rank and file,

my 'rolex perpetual' made people 
smirk and smile.

They said I was a victim in a 
swindler's deal,

but jewelers' swore my late gramp's 
wristwatch was real.


Sold it for a fortune, now I've 
become the boss.

For fun, I wear a rolex fake, 
but I'm at a loss.

Why, those who taunted me they now 
admiringly watch

this cheap thing on my wrist like 
it's a fabulous catch!
