Poetry: Silver Plate

Whatcha ever done to earn it?

Here’s your silver plate pal,
Wads of cash balled up on it
‘Stead of napkins.
All the connections.
Daddy’s money to fall back on.
Whatcha ever done to earn it?
So don’t tell me
Other people don’t deserve it.
Take a look at yourself
And make sure you’re worth it.
