Gold Digger
Here is a woman so enchanting, so beautiful,
yet so vile, so despicable,
the infamous gold-digger,
with her golden-blonde hair,
designer eyewear,
asymmetrical gold dress,
and matching gold slippers,
she’s no baker,
but she wants plenty of dough
Growing up poor,
she longed to have the finer things in life, and more
but did not have the drive, the ambition,
nor the education,
to work hard for it
So what would she do?
This was her evil plan,
Marry a rich man,
and take him for everything he’s got
followed this plan well into adulthood
The Benjamins were all she cared about,
she would find any rich suitor,
seduce him with her beauty and charm,
to get what she wants,
whether they be nerdy billionaires,
rich, dying, doddering old men,
district attorneys, NBA stars, lawyers,
Wall Street stockbrokers,
Hollywood celebrities,
or even politicians
They say most blondes are dumb and ditzy,
but not this one
She may be blonde, but she is very evil
Her ways were of the black widow spider
she would seduce her mate with her looks, beauty, and youth,
show fake love, affection, get their trust,
cloud their thoughts of logic with passion and lust,
marry them, drain them of all their money and assets,
kill them if needed,
live fabulously in their riches
Spouse after spouse this cycle repeats
but does she care
how many men she’s played like cards?
No.
she just wants it all
