Bargain basement dynasty




Porcelana Princess 

reclines on rug remnant 

in dime store bauble barge 

so much for eminent 


boatman poles the tune

of byzantine dreams

up dirty old man river 

not so romantic, it seems


Vaping Waffle Crisp

he takes in the scene

in Vivienne Westwood suit 

offers hit to the queen


Times are pretty bad when

slaves dress better than She

Pharoah's budget cuts 

leave only old jalopy 


former litter bearers

in loud check sports coats

wheel and deal barges at

"Honest Ahmed's Used Boats"


blank are the kohl eyes

of Nile's favored one

wearing purple Converse

hair dyed Luxor Sun


her Froot-Loop necklace

and recycled paper gown 

her cat dons the ermine 

heavy the head within crown


panting in bargain barge

in blazing river heat

under lapis lazuli sky

flaps her sales receipt


where's the damn slave

to fan me on the Nile

she now runs a cab stand

of taxi crocodile 


perhaps, you, garcon

boatman man the fan

couldn't possible says he

I might ruin my tan


what's a girl to do

well that sucks, ho hum

leans back on rug scrap

cracks her bubble gum 


how boring to be a god

and worse nouveaux riche

this cash strapped deity 

is one hot irritable bitch


I'd fan my own fan

if only I knew the way

they don't teach these things

to the Daughter of the Day


I'm useless it appears

with nothing else to do

and all day long to do it

can I trade places with you?
