THE HEIRESS' EXCESSIVE DOUBLE DECKER PENTHOUSE
(c) 2020 by Nick Bensen

It's rare to meet someone
With so much
But also really good at sharing
A Brahmin artist's eye
With aristocratic bearing

Weapons made them very rich
Her mother made them caring
She could have owned two billion of
The tie-dye she was wearing

This is my ticket out of this dump!
Wait, what, Croton?!
And the mumps?!
Mom don't take my special friend
Please don't make this good thing end
Take me back to the heiress'
Excessive double decker penthouse
Take me back to the heiress'
Excessive double decker penthouse

I loved the view from Riverside
The Romanesque redstone
Inside the girl's own bedroom
A carousel and throne

She showered me with riches
And said we were engaged
Ripped out of that dreamland
Bewildered and enraged

This is my ticket out of this dump!
Wait, what, Croton?!
And the mumps?!
Mom don't take my special friend
Please don't make this good thing end
Take me back to the heiress'
Excessive double decker penthouse
Take me back to the heiress'
Excessive double decker penthouse

I never heard of her again
Not even on the news
With all her endless money
You'd think I'd find some clues
