What If

By EdF

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

What if you had everything? Each shiny bauble as seen on tv? Your car, a screaming blur of chrome and wing. Your clothes cut sharp, they fit you perfectly. A wife of shocking beauty, charm and grace, Three kids, distinguished leaders of their class, Their purebred pets, each precious hair in place, Roam round your mansion’s acreage of grass. And when you’ve toured the world and seen the sights, And flown your jet and piloted your yacht, And still feel small and terrified at night, Then what?
