The thing that gets my Goat- In fact I\'ve ran out of Goats- is People who spend Thousands on a Watch. You just want the Time for Heavens sake. You can get that on a Reasonably Priced Watch. And the things the overpaid Footballers waste their money on beggars belief. And it\'s US that the Charities on TV keep asking for Donations. A good Write as always. Now I\'m off to get another Goat.

Why, yes, KP insists on all these things to eat, but she only gets sewage! lol.
Shouldn\'t speak ill of the dead, but a retired eccentric priest kicked the bucket at a 7-course meal celebration for his birthday. We mustn\'t insult pigs either, by saying \'the greedy pig\'.

Fantastic work. There’s a damn savage satire here, because the absurd prices keep escalating until luxury becomes almost grotesque, with gold, diamonds, ancient wine, and million-dollar indulgence piled onto a single dinner. The final “Shit in a bloated waist” is the keeper for me, because it strips away all the precious packaging and reduces the entire fortune to what it ultimately becomes, making the contrast with people starving brutally hard to ignore.

Why do people hate the rich, but in reality want to be them.
I myself always make a point of never being a pall bearer for the rich.
Not out of hate or envy.
Mainly because they weigh too much.

When we live happily off simple fare why would we hanker for luxury versions that only waste our ever dwindling resources. That’s quite a medieval backslide that never left humanity. Good stuff here my friend. 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊️

Hello, Soren,
\'Let them eat cake\', as it were - rich pricks indeed, inhabiting the grand gated compunds of greed, selfishness, arrogance and vulgarity. The money they spend on frivolous and ostentatious materialism is unbelievable and downright disgusting. A powerful poem, wealth in all its ugliness. Very well expressed, my friend.
Wishing you all the very best,
Tony.

Great account of a not uncommon interaction between humans.You could have been famous. There\'s a certain TV channel here which routinely finds such differences of opinion.
Never produced a daughter, but if I had, she would, I hope be the one...

One Tough Cookie as they say.
A bit nasty at the end though. A good Write on a difficult incident.

Reminds me of one of my sisters. No one dared cross her. As a toddler she even teethed on everyone close enough to sink her budding teeth into. A thoroughly enjoyed poem, my friend. 👍🏻🤩🕊️

Soren, this is a tense one...that little girl’s grit comes through hard, but so does the fear of realizing the whole room has turned and it is time to go. Strong write. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

If it ain\'t yours don\'t take it. If you do take it, expect a slap.
Once upon a time this was law.
I like kids that stand up for their rights, it means they were brought up the right way.

Soren, I love what happens between these two stanzas. First the void is full of love, then it becomes full of memory and grief. Same empty space, completely different weight. That stayed with me. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

An enjoyable Write. So true that when a Person dies or a Relationship breaks-up, we look at these objects with much Sorrow. I still have my late Father\'s Caps hanging on the Pegs where he left them . A fave here .
