Who acquired items for the Nouveau Riche.

Which they use for an occasional piece.

TABLE SIN OF NOUVEAU RICHE
sweetest dawn he ever knew
Toast was perfect, sky was blue
from the window all he saw ---
Sparkling as the artists draw
BUT
that
NIGHT
didn't whine, didn't stutter
when he wakened in the gutter
Didn't know he'd tempted Fate
Nibbling garnish from his plate
Mine, full of old clutter.
But cultured!
Mahogany chaired.
Mantel-clocked.
Beneath whose framing's gold
As quaintly curved Age-locked
Grand pictured.
Laughingly echoed through
By contrast
Placing a price on
As worthy
Is this: of an open plan's
Nouveau riche buying spree.
Does not last.
On my street there are many MacMansions
Full of stuff but not many grandsons
No pets with dirty feet
Just black balance sheets
And morality they have abandoned.
These nouveau riche Ole moneyed Scrooges
Have dinner talk of subterfuges
The poor they abhor
Not a tear on that score
No mangers please, they’ll take cruises.
No room in the Inn “Oh my what a sin”
Said the bankers foreclosing within
No bed for the King?
The streets just the thing
Perhaps the liberals will let Him in?
