My Limousine

 

By Elton Camp

 

I want you all to know I have a stretch limousine

In a mere little sedan I simply refuse to be seen

Some things in life will show others what you are

One of them is your house, but especially your car

 

I pass on the road, and want envious heads to turn

My limo will, the unwashed masses, respect earn

And whenever it is on some day trip I have gone,

I sit in the back and enjoy a bit of my Grey Poupon

 

To those of your who, in a limo have never ridden,

The pleasures of wealthy people remain well hidden

So, if it is just some mere tradesperson that you are

You’ll never be able to own a limo as fine as my car

 

Is this a snob speaking?  Perhaps, but for an alternate

interpretation, go to the following::
