Mr. Big Businessman...
There wiste no wight that he was in dette
-Chaucer, General Prologue, line 279
If this were fifty years ago he’d sport
A cheap brown suit and a loud, too-wide tie
But now he wears knee-pants and cartoon tees
And fashion shoes that look like cancerous growths
And speaks like Chaucer’s merchant of his gigs
Contacts and contracts and deals to be made
Important ‘phone calls that must be taken now
In a voice of in-crowd guffawery
But when he clicks off his shiny MePhone
He asks for gas money to get him home
