How strange this man's value,
seeking fortune with toys.
Jones owns a gold watch;
the man bought platinum.
Cleo wears a one-carat rock;
his spouse dons a two.
The Saltzberg twins drain Macy's;
his baby girl sucks down SAKS.
Wilson's son speeds by in a 'Stang;
his boy races a Jag.

How tired this man's body,
struggling for hours in search of value.
Jones has a mistress;
he screws two.
Cleo sleeps with the gardener;
his spouse does the masseuse and butler.
The Saltzberg twins giggle when they sneak a beer;
his baby girl bathes in 100 year old Scotch.
Wilson's son smokes the occasional joint;
his boy prefers speed balls.

In bed with Mistress two,
the man dies of a heart attack
(too much Viagra).
The spouse contracts aids.
His drunken daughter kills a boy while driving the Jag.
His junkie son blows his brains out.

But they had everything of value.

Old Man Winters?
According to the neighbors,
he's a loser.
Oh, how they gossip,
"What a wasted life."
"Look at his raggedy clothes."
"Sure wish he'd clean that shit house."
"He's such a lazy fool."

But he got it going on,
driving his ten year old Escort,
living in his two bedroom shack,
listening to Mozart,
and resting on his ratty ass couch.

His spouse wears a CZ,
and they love each day
(he can't afford Viagra).
His daughter teaches children,
changing the world a babe at a time.
His son fights for justice
to clean our streets of wealthy trash.

Dude retired at forty-nine.
He's cool with sipping Malt Liquor,
burning some ribs on the pit,
chilling in the oversized hammock with his wife
and reading a barb from Dickens.


*******
Yep, he's just North of white trash--that is in some circles. In others,
well . . .

Second part much better than first where the point could be made with less 'actors' Still V
