Room Service

Room Service

Haberdash O your fondest frond and
samba southwesterly, my dear,
I am tired of the chessmatch

You with your bishops and knights
Me and my eloquent pawns

Power means something
Don’t tell me it doesn’t

Leave the motivational quotes to
needlepoint and tombstones I want
rare and beautiful meals,
cars that purr,
valets who kiss my
ass because they have to

Annual incomes that
bring a smile to my
true love’s face

We drink expensive wines,
sleep on the finest beds and
dream up new religions for the
hungry to feed upon





Michael J. Vaughn's twentieth novel, Figment, is now available in both digital and paperback forms at Amazon.com.
