Stark Bucks

RickthePoetWarrior 1954 (Saint John, NB)

Rhymed
Cappuccino curl
Capricious swirl
What does it mean
This coffee being
Especially prepared for you
Specific status symbol brew
Each curl performs cotillion dances
While you awaiting envy prances
Elitist-class you mimic so
Care not a drop how you cup Jo
Or if your pinky's sticking out
Honored never clap or pout
TheRich enjoy your aping ways
And will let you stay 'n' tap 'n'
Pays
