Yacht Rock
I’m off to Bermuda
While you’re up the creek!
I cruise like old money;
You float like a freak.
As you steer between rocks
In that ****** canoe,
You’re a maritime nuisance
Obstructing the view.
My luxury vessel
Steers clear of the sharks;
You paddle and fulminate,
Studying Marx.
Your dugout is leaking;
I’m greasing the skids.
The dividends pay out
to bankroll my kids.
My profits accrue
While you seethe at your bosses.
You rail at the system—
I minimize losses.
I cruise into port.
Our hotel is reserved…
Your bitter resentment
Means dinner is served.
Departures are blissful;
We glide into harbors
And dine amidst hollyhocks
Under the arbors.
The banquet is served:
An idyllic location—
But you merely murmur
In disapprobation.
So scratch my maid’s Tesla
(or blow up a dealership…)
Rattle your chains
While insulting my captainship.
I’m by the pool—
You can splash in your gutter.
I’ll leave you a tip
For some bread with your butter.
