Simple and Pretty
The nose feels always sweet from the steams of the lower order
happiness and contentment fill the pages of their folders
still afford basic needs, though with hands quite weak
match the affluent’s gatherings with a barbecue every week
not nearly rich, yet their freedom is a showpiece
a community of half existences, living in peace
women commemorate every third night for a hen party
it doesn’t matter if the gown is weary and dirty
nature cannot give or take it all
lacking shoes will hence not make the legs fall
pricks and scars are common but easily forgettable
living is plain, straight and readable
all that is needed is beer to be good and funky
luxury isn’t goal, a confined locality is already the walkie-talkie
it is only when taste climbs the scale that appetite becomes voracious
then living up to the society’s monocle makes one vicious
sweaty day time for families to act deranged
historic night-life, the gods have arranged
maximizing the bonanzas from life’s treasury
sodium is enough, one musn’t have mercury
