Best Ritz Poems

I pulled up to the Stork Club in a bright Red Coupe Deville. I must admit I felt a bit of pride as I tossed the bell hop the keys. I said "Keep it close Kid!". As he sat behind the steering wheel, I admired...

Remember when I used to be dead broke,
and everyone laughed cause my dreams were a big joke?

The Lion and the Crown
Cobalt blue goblet and the spangled gown
Black tie and high browns
Puttin on the Ritz
Flappers dancing the Charleston
Jazz by Count Basie and Duke Ellington
Crazy dance moves like the Black Bottom, the Shimmy and the Turkey Trot
And the Cake Walk

Tip- tap-tipetty to!
Swing downtown now, 
Why feel so blue?
The girls are dancing high kicks phew!
Leave your top hat on the pew,
Swing-swing-sing-a-song
Let them know that you belong!
Rhythm child, one-two- three- four,
If your’e cool you’ll pass the door,
To skip and dance and drink champagne,
Don’t hold back enjoy...

New satin stiletto shoes...

A four piece string ensemble competes
with fluted crystal glasses harmonizing
to the tinkling of fine silverware
underpinned by the purring whispers 
of well-to-do's and their hobnobbery.

Buttery lobster and rib-eyed supper in
opulent gravies and exotic spices;
cornucopia fruits on sterling platters
all floating about the ballroom on
white gloved tuxedos.

There’s a...

Puttin’ on the Ritz

She went to London where the gold-paved streets
glittered not in rainy foggy mornings.
In vain she knocked on doors in search of fame.

Uttered from beyond thick lighted cigars,
idle promises drifted hazily,
like suffocating smoke that filled the air.

Her talents never stood an acting chance,
but...

Putting on the Ritz






Those weird faces
below glamorous make up,
The enormous laughs
under those debts,
Show off to whom
lesser privileged than you?
As those affluents
will never look at you !

Luxury of the motels
and wine in pubs,
Those night lusts
and hefty gifts,
Moving in bigger cars 
owning king sized houses,
Best of attire
embellished...

Had an invite to a ball in Lake Tahoe
at the Ritz Carlton what a surprise.
To celebrate in true old fashioned style
opened a door couldn’t believe my eyes

The ballroom was all of a glitter
with walls of silk and panels of wood
Had brought in chandeliers shining like...

The highest of the class with lots of flowing cash,
with gorgeous eveningball gowns and tuxes with  the sash.
They come to drink and dance the night away,
And no one  goes home till they see the light of day.

The expensive luxurious cars that come and...

Though a wimpy, tiny, and puny
(smaller than a breadbox) Ogre
whereat my portable minuscule
fingerhut size adobe abode ex

grammatical elements of style,

I counted Flip (Wilsonian) view,
to camouflage myself anytime
and anywhere as significant add
vantages. The obvious down side

'Ritz Tower, Night' 1920's      Painted by Georgia O'Keefe




They closed the day behind them, and scurried to the hive
Inside a honeycomb of cells, a filing cabinet filled of lives
The night in black and blue enshrouds the city's tallest mast
As evening beckoned...

Out on the town
Getting on down
Acting the clown -
Puttin on the ritz

Wedding invite
Don’t dress too bright
Girdle’s too tight -
Puttin on the ritz

Drunk at the Wake
Fell in the lake
‘twas a mistake -
Puttin on the ritz

Head to toe seduction is bliss 
Her bed to show her suction is missed 
Lips red perky and plump 
Her hips twerky her stance is slumpt 
Big ass with bigger **** 
This girl is known for "putting on the Ritz"
From her jaw line to her...
