I STAND, CORRECTED

As we walked in Manhattan

past Fifth Avenue,

I told my young boys the old chestnut

that life is so much easier

for rich men and pretty girls.

“That’s not really true,”

said a blonde so gorgeous

our ears all went red.

“I eat tofu three meals a day

and I still have self-esteem issues!”

“And I work harder than ever;”

said a man coming the other way,

in a suit made money

“the more I have, the more

I have to work to protect it.”

“Is that so?” I said.

“We could relieve you of some…”

He only shook his head

and went on his way...

...we noticed that she went with him.
