Happy to be Bourgeoisie

 

All cozy in my clichéd’ atmosphere

With a hammock beneath a backyard tree

And my riding lawnmower and a can of beer:

I am happy to be bourgeoisie, you see

Bourgeois Sentimentality - poem

Bourgeois Sentimentality

A beagle puppy napping on the hearth
The morning offering whispered at dawn
Young lovers flirting on a garden bench
The chair in which Granddaddy used to sit

Cranky old men who feed the birds each day
Cool boy-band posters on a teenager’s wall
Red spider-lilies in the autumn sun
And children’s toys scattered all over the yard

“Bourgeois sentimentality!” some cry:
Well, yes, yes it is – by the Grace of God
