EaCh and EVerY one
of them R SNobS,
who don't give a damn
AbOut Us -
U and I are different
We ReAl, B reAl
NOTS-R-not,

about theRest of THe
World-
They clone themselves

daybreak, in their
2Piece $1K suits/Oxford
sWeaTers/WiNgTip SHoes/
and
neckties-WiTh a small NOT

U and I are different,
We choose not 2 live
our lives this way -
We ReAl B Real -
and
cHanCes R
A NOT will always B
a NOT-
They carry a briefcase
filled with
computerInstRuMeNts,
and
a hundred sharpen pencils,
notepads, appointment books,
and
A NOT drives a Q45 Infinity,
with a cellPhone onboard:
Faxmachine,
and
U/can rest-a-sure
that a NOT carry's a pager,
that voice activates,
and
ViBrates, with digital readout
display,
and
can retrieve/receive a message
Faraway as,
U-GO-SLA-V-YAH !
Sometimes I think about
what a NOT won't do
2 Keep that ROLEX -
U and I have everything,
A NOT have nothing -
U and I are different,
NOTS R SnoBs! everyone
of them -
who don't give a damn
aBoUt Us -
