\'Keeping Up\' With The Joneses

I day clean for the Joneses

They have a big penthouse

The mistress would fall ill

If she saw a tiny mouse

 

They have a huge swim pool

Outside their many rooms

Their windows will seal off

If a howling typhoon looms

 

A butler will appear

When Master presses the bell

The butler has to look for

His toupee and hair gel

 

Their children\'s shoes and boots

Are made in Paris France

And as I cleaned their rooms

I went into a trance

 

I imagined MY penthouse

Up higher than their floor

It\'s bigger than the Joneses

With a massive strong red door

 

And right up on the rooftop

Pad\'s for my copter to land

To bring right to my red door

My most favourite band

 

My fancy yacht is berthed

At the dock far down below

My special elevator

Is fast and never slow

 

A girl does my manicure

The other does my toes

A masseur does my back

Till my rounded body glows

 

\"Wake up wake up Miss R

Your bus is now right here

Driver said he\'ll wait 5 minutes

You start at the penthouse dear.\"

 

I just read about the lengths some families would go to, to keep up with the Joneses (in my country it would be the Wongs, Alis or Muthus). They end up in debt and distress. I imagined what it would be like.....No thanks!
