….the
vintage champagne bottle
bath
robed by the jacuzzi
chills
-
it
‘s head just visible -
it
chooses hanging
out
with boy bankers -[
things could get worse
corruption - what a curse
but meanwhile
it forgives the plastic cups
the swaddling
so health club staff don't see
this willing teddy bear
that cellared boom and trough
the trust fund bankers laugh
they speak of future peaks
and peaks - and peaks
a south sea bubbled madness
makes them eulogize
their minted race of bankers
no one could possibly despise
the champagne - running empty -
drawls
'oh blah blah blah
and jolly blah'
