When visiting a mansion
That’s
become a restoration,
It’s cool to
see a property
That’s way above
your station.
The verdant
lawns with giant trees,
The gardens
all in bloom,
The stained
glass in the windows
Of each
river-facing room…
The made-to-order
furniture,
The statues
and the art,
The butler’s
pantry where the fancy
Dinners get
their start…
The books in
leather bindings
Lined up
neatly on the shelves,
The lamps
and fixtures next to chairs
Where folks
relaxed themselves.
It’s fun to
fantasize about
The life
styles of the rich.
I wonder,
though, how they would fare
In my house,
for a switch.
