Not Bourgeoisie
by David Pekrul
copyright 09-08-2006


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
Another day and I’m still here,
I think I’ll have another beer,
For I’m not going anywhere,
The situation is unfair.

For others have the better jobs,
And from the poor they seem to rob,
While I just sit upon this couch,
And eat potato chips and slouch.

What’s that you say?, Get off my ass?
I think I’ll let that comment pass,
Those labour-jobs are not for me,
I am “executive”, you see.

And I deserve the penthouse floor,
A secretary and much more,
And everyone to wait on me,
And give me all things I decree.

I shouldn’t have to work for it,
I think my argument’s legit,
For I am better than the rest,
In ‘genius’ I have been blessed.

But until others share my views,
I’ll watch the ‘tube’ and drink my booze,
And wonder how it came to be,
That I’m a Serf, not Bourgeoisie.

I like how this poem just skips along, great flow. And of course, your rhymes are always top notch! The other comments here reflect my feelings, except potatoes are grown, not developed, especially the couch variety! lol

This would be laughable if there weren't so many pitiful bums and con artists doing this.
Great flow to this poem.

Keep up the good work!

I like how well observed this is, we all know people like this, hopefully they are not us.
This should be required reading in schools where too many couch potatoes are developed.
Of course it goes without saying that all parents should be given a copy.

I love the ironic bit of finesse the title brings to this well-crafted poem about this lazy, old bum!
