Carnegie Hall has nothing on you... <br />Your design 'tis quite divine-? <br />Vice president of fabric-a velvet King...? <br />A Grand Master of Interior Design; <br /> <br />New York-it 'surely' loves you... <br />Michigan gave you your B.A. degree- <br />Chicago taught your interior- very well... <br />While you pulled the Wool over my eyes that now see; <br /> <br />A designer of pretence and scamming? <br />Caught up in your textile most divine? <br />Selling New York or 'tis it Newark? <br />You know longer fool these green eyes of mine; <br /> <br />Too used to people befriending me... <br />Now- too used to all of their lies... <br />Trust? whats that? lying to me flat... <br />You really take the the prize; <br /> <br />An 'altruistic' booby trap just waiting? <br />To think that i almost believed- <br />Michigan and Illinois must love you... <br />Just wonder how many others you have deceived? <br /> <br />What is the real name of your racket, anyway? <br />In collusion with some of my so-called-friends? <br />Taking a bite out of the Big Apple... <br />I can now forsee your most crooked end; <br /> <br />Dedicated to: Rockville Centre, New York <br />And to the man of many faces.
