blooms
bouncy
baby’s breath
busy bee balm
ritzy rose, glitzy gloxinia
zany zinnia, dear ditzy daisy
swanky saffron
flouncy phlox
bonnie
buds...

I love chrome bumpers
Sequins on headbands
Rhinestones on sweaters
Colored gemstones that are polished
Confetti, glitter,
Anything ritzy, ditzy or sparky
I love shiny things
Could I be a crow?...

during cold season
coated with a snow blanket
winter ski spins fantasy 

as far as eyes view
a vista of snow-clad slopes
a ritzy summer resort

Hoity-Toity 
La-Di-Da 
existence desired 
never able to obtain 
the coveted lifestyle
high falutin pompous 
arrogant attempts made
towards obtaining the 
obscure illusive snooty 
characteristics of the 
desired social class 
of the ritzy aristocract 
sitting a top their thrown
looking down upon the lower 
class of society...

I put hot pink pajamas on my cat Scat.
She twists her tail, for she knows where she’s at
A sassy, brassy, classy, ritzy, ditzy, diamond cat.
worth all the trouble, said my cousin Pat.

For she is smug and self-assured, a joyful cat.
I hear her coming now, with her pitter pat.
Dressed in her fancy pajamas, my cat, Scat.
Uh-oh, I think what she is carrying is a live rat!...

Money is Welcome Everywhere
"It's not the money, it's the stuff!" Bernadette Peters, the Jerk.
"Give me the MONEY!" Cuba Gooding, Jerry Maguire.
“Do you smell that? Money!” Paul Newman, The Color of Money
Buys us our fancy cars, fine houses, pretty mink coats, ritzy computers,
But also purchases...
groceries, gasoline, toilet paper, Sharpies and notebooks
money is welcome everywhere....

you can never be too fancy for life
wearing pretty things takes away strife
you do not believe me? Ask my neighbors wife
She is as glitzy, ritzy and shiny as a brand new steak knife.

The bird who dresses up her feathers is ready to impress.
A purple unicorn with hair flowers can never overdress.
A princess with a crown and a nineteen sixties dress.
All three are ready to greet the royal highness....

She has a style that is full of florals and spring
We watch her daily, for her outfit is full of zing
Today she has sunglasses with flowers galore.
She wears gorgeous things daily, full of amore.

She is glitzy and ritzy, and we love watching her move.
In the seventies we would have said she has lots of groove.
She is a fashionista who knows what to wear.
Always with a hood, so we wonder if she has any hair....

They must be rich and exotic, we neighbors surmised.
They had gorgeous raccoon coats, a huge surprise.
Drove automobile that cost more than my house.
I see flash of a luxurious expensive silk blouse.

When they moved in, they elevated the rest of us.
We tried to act normal, without much of a fuss.
But they were ritzy, and we were dreary and plain.
We never got invited to their parties, don’t remember their name....
