Mission girl

We are becoming a class stratified society. Not all of us are ab-fab. Sarcastic?

Mission girl

Daddy rides in a Cadillac,
and Mummy drives a Porsche.
I just got a new hairdo,
and a saddle for my horse!

My brother has an MBA.
My sister’s got one, too.
And if they ever need my help?
My law degree will do.

My sorority? My loyalty.
My alma mater? Dough.
To all the homeless on the street:
here, take this change and go.

For I will live in a big white house
on a cobbled street with a gate.
And if I never have poor friends,
please don’t assume I hate! ‘Cause,

Daddy rides in a Cadillac,
and Mummy drives a Porsche.
And I just got a new hairdo,
I look ab-fab, of course!

Author's note: the wealthy suburbs of Kansas City Missouri are found in Johnson County, Kansas and include Mission Hills and Shawnee Mission. Both were founded by missionaries to the Delaware (Lenni Lenape) and other peoples, most of whom who were 'removed' to Oklahoma.
