The so called elite of this small town may feel like upper class <br />But for the very ordinary in a bigger town they would pass <br />They have their social gatherings where one must be invited to attend <br />If one sees you as an enemy to none you are a friend <br />One might call them a cliche or call them what you may <br />But they do feel so conceited in their self important way <br />At their weekend invitation only dinners the small town talk is rife <br />One must feel a bit sad for them for their narrow outlook on life <br />The upper class of this town is their one claim to renown <br />But when all is said and all is done 'tis a small country town <br />But the upper class in a small town in the city with the upper class could not socialize <br />But then everybody looks at life through very different eyes <br />Where-ever you live in big or small town you will have social rank <br />But for the fact of rank and class we have ignorance to thank.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/small-town-upper-class/
