Yuppie Blues

Yuppie Blues

Dark and light.
Round the clock.
Day and night.
Roll and rock.

Business plan.
Super size.
Office. Bank.
Looking nice.

Airport.
Face control.
Loaded word.
Urgent call.

Autobahn.
Coffee break.
Restaurant.
Chips and steak.

Very steep,
quick progress.
Troubled sleep.
Nervousness.

Stock goes up.
Stock gives way.
Seven Up.
Stress and shake.

Business class.
Yuppie Club.
Black tie. Jazz.
Lipstick daub.

Met aside
pretty lone.
Spent the night.
Took her home.

House. Garage.
Limousine.
Douche. Massage.
Therapy.

Fitness. Gym.
Schedule. Draft.
Aspirin.
Sleeping-draught.

Fuss. Watchdog.
Sad. Depressed.
Evening. Fog.
Emptiness...

Net result.
Thirty years.
To sum up.
Impotence.

It's a Yuppie Blues! It's in the bag! It's in the bag!
It's a Yuppie Blues! It's in the bag! It's in the bag!
It's a Yuppie Blues! It's in the bag, bag, bag!
It's a Yuppie Blues! It's in the bag! It's in the bag!
Invite in business yuppie,
and you'll be fine and happy!
It's a Yuppie Blues!

    Very interesting!!!!!

    This is very intersting and I do see yuppie written all over this. I thought they went out of style though, just like the hippies. I thouroughly enjoyed the thought that went into this and it sounded like lyrics to me. Great take on society.
    Best wishes to you and welcome to All Poetry. Joyce
