The pursuit of happiness
on my smiling mind
not to mention
the American dream.
Yahoo - ascending swiftly
beyond depressing meritocracy
in fabulous rollercoasters
from rags to riches.
Borrowed a shirt
made for the rich and famous
never mind loan-shark interest rates.
Dressed to kill
in rags-to-rich ceremonies
at the imperial Waldorf Astoria.
To lose my shirt altogether at Trump University.
An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest,
provided candidates running for the office
of President of the United States
are not lying and cheating on you
(fine print disclaimer).
