High Standard
She tells me this story see, when she met this
rich guy and they traveled everywhere. Concert
in Vienna, spas in Germany, skiing in the Alps
and lazy summer days in southern Spain and
winter break on the Bahamas. Ends her tale
making it clear that she’s used the good things
in life, and so it goes. Now for the real ending;
the rich man left her for a younger companion
and plunged her into poverty, she had to sell
jewelry and her mink coat, worked in real estate,
and serving dinner to rowdy working men at
a roadside café. Fifty, too late to meet a rich
guy, but insist a new, if poorer, beau must have
clean fingernail and not smell of petrol
